Hi Matej,
Looks good from a casual read, and I'll try this, but your email brings up a
much more serious topic -- *how the heck did you learn this???*
I know you didn't learn it in Kopka and Daly's "Guide to LaTeX", because I
read that book cover to cover and there were no more than a few sentences on
the use of the \let TeX primative.
You've given me several suggestions like this, most of which are incorporated
in the .layout files of my various books. Could you please tell me (and
everyone else on this list) where you learned this, and how, and a little
about your mental state and process when you learned this.
The lyx-users list has discussion after discussion about how to make a
customized environment, command, or whatever. The typical response is "use
package whatever" or "you don't need that feature". If all of us learned what
you know about LaTeX and TeX (\let is pure TeX from what I understand), we'd
all be much happier LyX users if we could whip out a quick LaTeX solution to
our formatting needs.
Thanks so much
