It a long-standing known issue LyX misses a proper way to define
custom header/footer lines while such lines are necessary for many

After helping a colleague to define a strange header line (which costs
me half an hour), I created a new module that provides commands to
define those lines. With this module you can
- use 6 different commands (left, center, right for header and footer)
- define headers/footers "the LyX way": e.g. inserting logo images,
equations, tables, boxes, create multiple-line headers/footers, use
the text style dialog for the characters,...
- use an optional argument to define the output on even pages
I tested the attached module with many files and it works well as far
as I can see. Attached is also an example LyX file.
What do you think? Can this go in or are there better ways to define
header/footer lines?
(This module can also go to branch if accepted.)
This looks quite good. I can't see any other way to leverage LyX's
abilities and produce header and footer lines.
A few questions, though. First, isn't there another way to do this in
the koma-script classes? If so, then perhaps we should provide for that
functionality, as well. I have ideas about how to do so if necessary.
Second, do we need InTitle here? Or can these appear anywhere? Finally,
there can be issues about the header or footer getting too tall, if I
remember right. Is that correct? If so, should we do something to help
people there?
