Greetings. 

I'm a new lyx user, and have just finished the very helpful tutorial
at http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/index.htm. 

I'm writing a course, and am trying to duplicate the course layout of 
microsoft technical courses (it's a unix related course so naturally I'm 
refusing to use microsoft authoring products).

The course needs the following formatting: 

shaded boxes (a la fancybox package)
graphics in shaded boxes (any graphics format that will work) 
horizontal lines ( ERT \rule )


My questions are:

Should I look at creating a LaTeX document class for this, or can 
these needs be met within lyx layout and using ERT ?

Also, is there a way of having a macro to stuff in repetitive ERT 
as needed?

Thanks in advance, and forgive me if these questions are overly dumb.
