I'm pretty sure you can redefine the chapter environment so that before
invoking the text, you set #1 or whatever the argument's called to an empty
string. Then you can just use any string in the chapter environment, and it
won't show up in the ps/pdf environment.
You can't use an environment on blank spaces (unless they're nonbreaking
blanks) because LyX doesn't work that way.
Another possiblility is to make your own environments, but it might be
difficult for them to show up in the TOC.
