In any event, flex insets are what used to be charstyles, only now it's
possible to make them collapsable as well as inline. So you can do
something like this:
InsetLayout Custom:Label
LyXType custom
LatexName label
LatexType command
Decoration classic
LabelString Label
End
OK, using lyx1.6svn, open user's guide, where can I find a flex inset?
If you mean the documentation, I think Martin is still working on it. If
you mean an actual flex inset itself, anything that's a character style
is a flex inset, though those use the "conglomerate" geometry. So far as
I know, there aren't any flex insets in the user's guide that use the
"classic" geometry---which is the collapsable style geometry---or the
"minimalistic" geometry, which is similar except there's no label when
the inset is open. (It may be we could use another, where the button
label was based upon the content of the inset. That'd be similar to one
of the Index proposals.)
That said, if you include the endnotes module, then look under
Inset>Custom Inset, the endnotes inset is collapsable, and it's defined
this way:
InsetLayout Custom:Endnote
LyXType custom
LatexName endnote
LatexType command
Decoration classic
Font
Size Small
EndFont
LabelString endnote
Preamble
\usepackage{endnotes}
EndPreamble
End
(Note: I just committed this version.)
Speaking for myself, I know I'm just starting to get my mind around the
possibilities here. But the short version is: We're getting close to a
point where you don't need to do any C++ to code a new inset, unless it
has optional arguments, etc, and we ought to be able to handle those
before long.
