Currently the text format of notes insets is always the same as for the surrounding paragraph and can't be changed. That means that if a note in in a section heading, its characters are always bold although they might not be bold when the note is for example a greyed-out note. This is in my opinion not WYSIWYG and makes it impossible to have a consistent markup for notes in a document. I also reported this here: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3061
While working on the docs, this is currently the most annoying behaviour. I want for example describe an ERT-command that is used in a section heading, but as the note text is always bold sansserif, I can't describe it correctly according to the style guidelines.
If it is not too late for LyX 1.5.0, it would be nice if this can be changed. thanks and regards Uwe
