Now I understand :-)
If by automate you mean have a style for the admonition title (NOTE, TIP,
WARNING, WHATEVERuWANT) and a style for the rest of the admonition, you can
do it in your layout file.
The following is part of my layout file for "Learn Vim Tonight: Use the Worlds
Most Productive Editor Tomorrow". Note that these snippits don't include
Preamble/endpreamble.
Basically there's a LaTeX command that centers the title (callouttitleL), and
one that prints in a shaded box with reduced margins (callouttextL). That's
the LaTeX part. LyX style CalloutTitle is a command type LyX environment, and
calls LaTeX command callouttitleL to print the title. LyX style CalloutText
calls LaTeX environment callouttextL to print the text of the admonition.
You can make special LyX environment NOTE, WARNING and the like that strongarm
the title, freeing you from having to type it in, but the generalistic method
means you can put any title you want in one of these boxes.
If you implement this, I suggest you use more obvious names for commands and
environments. It's less than a year since I wrote this layout file, and I
already find my code confusing.
Have fun...
