Is there a way to enter the following code in LyX
without ERT:<br class="">

\begin{enumerate}<br class="">

<div class="">Thanks for the suggestions, but unfortunately they
do not address my issue. I want the secondary enumeration to
start on the first line of the primary enumeration. It works in
LaTex.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

I tried the tab button first. The problem is that LyX does not
like empty lines. I can use a hard space for the first item, but
then I get an empty line of output that I do not want. If I erase
the hard space in LyX and then preview, I get what I want, but as
soon as I move the cursor to I new paragraph, LyX replaces the
empty line with \item a .<br class="">

<p>OK, I see the problem. Two solutions:</p>
<ol>
<li>The simplest is to add an empty ERT box to the first item.
This will prevent LyX from collapsing the empty element and adds
nothing to the output.</li>
<li>Local Layout:<br>
<blockquote>Format 66<br>
Style Enumerate<br>
KeepEmpty 1<br>
End</blockquote>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The "KeepEmpty" layout tag instructs LyX not to delete empty
lines.</p>
