flashcards layout

[Jonathan Vogt]

Hi all,

I just found out about the flashcards 
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/flashcards) latex 
package and started using it in lyx. I used the layout file from 
http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~mhoffman/latex/flashcards/ as a start. I 
added some list envoirments, which work quite well. 
Now I'm looking for a way to put a cardtitle from within lyx. In Latex it 
would look like the following:
  \begin{flashcard}[cardtitle]{Testfront}
        testback
  \end{flashcard}

I thought about using short title but couldn't figure out how to use it. so I 
created an command which should redefine \cardtitle and put that into an 
enviroment. this works for the first occourance, but not inside the flashcard 
enviroment. There is some sort of scope problem... The old title is reset 
when leaving the environment.

So I'm looking for a solution to set the cardtitle. Any help on how to leave 
the local scope in an envoirment or any other way to change the cardtitle 
from within lyx would really be welcome.

I attached a (german) example. Beginning with card 4 the title should be test 
and not Mechanik.

Thanks
Jonathan
