I was adding some stuff to the wiki today and decided to add a tip about
how to use endnotes. This got me thinking. If you want all your notes to
be endnotes, then it's easy. But what if you wanted to have SOME
endnotes but also be able to use footnotes? Then, I thought, you have to
use ERT. But no, I realized, you don't: You could create a character
style, thus:

CharStyle Endnote
        LatexType             Command
        LatexName             endnote
        Font
          Family              Roman
          Size                Small
          Color               blue
        EndFont
        LabelFont
          Family              Roman
          Color               blue
        EndFont
        Preamble
          \usepackage{endnotes}
        EndPreamble
End


This does work, though it doesn't look all that wonderful. And that's
too bad, because this trick could be used more broadly: ANY
single-argument LaTeX command could be transformed into a character style.

But what if you could do this:

CharStyle Endnote
        LatexType             Command
        LatexName             endnote
        LyxType               Inset
        Preamble
          \usepackage{endnotes}
        EndPreamble
End

Then you'd have a really incredible ability to customize LyX.

Thoughts?
