No quite, though. What you need is
void insetShortTitle(InsetText const & ins) {
ist_(ins);
}
in public, and
InsetShortTitle ist_(InsetText const &);
in private. The parentheses are necessary in both places to get it to
compile. So ist_ is a (function-like) method and should be called as
one.
Hmmm... but how do you use this thingy somewhere else? As I see it,
nothing is leaving the insetShortTitle method, and ist_ only helps you
generate an InsetShortTitle from a given text inset. It's not a data
thing.
Should insetShortTitle have a return value?
Anyway, thanks! Learning all the time.
