"Outdent" first line of paragraph

Hi folks,

I'm doing a bibliography and find all the 'tutorials' on the issue so arcane, that I can't understand a single one.

How do I outdent the first line of a paragraph like so:

Code: Select all

Harrison, A. & Hillard, P. (2000) 'A moment-based technique
   for the automatic spatial alignment of plantar pressure data.',
   Proc Inst Mech Eng H, 214 (3), pp. 257-264.

Thanks muchly,

Jack

The way to do this is to "Insert" -> "TeX Code" at the start of the paragraph and add in

Code: Select all

\hangindent2em
\hangafter1

Out of curiosity: are you creating your document with plain TeX?

I don't think so since the question is posted in the »LyX« forum.

Ah, I miss the forum too often...

The solution still looks kind of plain to me.

No, I am writing in LyX, but you can still insert bare TeX code. It's a bit of a hack, but it's better than the razor blades and vinegar of bibtex.
