Enumitem and IEEETran

[Anders Host-Madsen]

It seems enumitem and IEEETran.cls are not compatible. I
found the following solution on the web. Insert

\let\labelindent\relax

BEFORE enuitem is included. That works. The issue is
that in LyX, the latex preamble comes after enumitem
is called. Any way to include the above statement
before enumitem is called?

A relatively easy hack would be to

* copy the "enumitem.module" file from the LyX library (See Help>About
LyX for the location at your machine) to the local LyX library (on Unix
~/.lyx/layouts/) and rename to, e.g., "ieetranenumitem.module".

* in this local file, change the first line like e.g.

-#\DeclareLyXModule[enumitem.sty]{Customisable Lists (enumitem)}
+#\DeclareLyXModule[enumitem.sty]{Customisable Lists (enumitem-ieeehack)}

* and the preamble code

AddToPreamble
+ \let\labelindent\relax
\usepackage{enumitem} % customizable list environments
\newlength{\lyxlabelwidth} % auxiliary length
EndPreamble


Then use the new "enumitem-ieeehack" module.

(Remember, that the "labelindent" macro is now the one defined by enumitem
and maybe strange things happen with label indentation in the ieee class.)

(Also remember to update you local copy when a new version of the
upstream enumitem.module is issued.)
