Here is a little patch to lyx that introduces a new comment style, which I
called exposedcomment and gives comments a separate paragraph in a
different font.
It needs the attached macro file.
In the preamble do:
\usepackage{comment}
\specialcomment{exposedcomment}{\begingroup\par{Comment:}\sffamily\footnotesize}{\par\endgroup}
% \excludecomment{exposedcomment}
It is not difficult in the end, but it took me some time to figure out, so
I thought it might serve the community.
