I tried making a custom inset, and found that
if I don't specify "Font . . . EndFont", then LyX crashes
as soon as I try "Insert->Custom Insets->my inset"
I didn't want to specify a font, I though LyX could use whatever font
that was in effect at the moment. Some cases don't need to
set a font, they are merely meant to add some latex command
or environment to the output.
Second bug:
I had this:
#\DeclareLyXModule[multicol.sty]{Adds support for text in multiple
columns}{Multicol}
So I expected multicol.sty to load automatically, but no. I had to add
that to "Preamble...EndPreamble" as well. What is the purpose
of having [multicol.sty] in declarelyxmodule if the package isn't
loaded as a result? Bug, or did I misunderstand something crucial?
Now for the question. Is it possible to create an inset that can
contain severla paragraphs of various types, similiar to how the
minipage or branch inset works?
I understand that something like an endnote shouldn't be able to
have internal paragraphs. But a "4 columns" inset should. The only
way I can achieve this at the moment is to use a style instead of an inset,
but this solution is a bit odd: Other paragraphs have to nest
in order to be inside the multicol region, and "standard" don't
nest well. Any nesting mistake breaks up the multicol region
which isn't intuitive. That's why I think some kind of boxed inset
would be better for this - if it can contain several paragraphs.
An inset also shows where the multicol region ends - a style
won't do that, endlabels doesn't seem to work.
