By default, +these now prohibit changes to the paragraph layout. Putting a description +inside a character style typically results in invalid LaTeX code, so this +makes certain mistakes harder to make. Power users who have taken advantage +of the previous behavior can restore it by adding "ForcePlain 0" to the +declaration of the character style, so long as this is done after "LyXType +charstyle" has been declared. -Tarballs and binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/ +LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based +on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance.
