I'd still like to find a good index/list of values that can be inserted
to the header, footer (and/or I suspect inside the document body via
ERTs) But you've given me enough to make me sure that I can use lyx for
most of my writing needs. Now I can focus mostly on my writing,
confident that I'll like letting lyx take care of MOST of the
typesetting details...
Well, I don't know any such lists. The problem is, you can put
just about any latex command in the header. (Well, a page
break would be really stupid, but anything that produce
a "small" amount of output would work in a header.)
There are thousands of latex commands, so it is hard to make
a complete list. That's why I suggested a latex manual,
they list everything and you can pick what you want.
Latex really is a programming language aimed at typesetting.
There are a few good manuals. You can look up anything,
from simple stuff like getting a page number or section name
in the header, all the way to complicated stuff like
programming an entire new latex add-on package.
Now, if you want some specific thing in your header, such as
date, filename, or the page number in roman numerals - just ask.
