Hi Amir,
I posted exactly the same trick some months ago to get short caption
entries in the listofwhatever. It is easily generalized to headings.

Subject: Re: clip figures script... and some more tricks
Hi,
one alternative is to use TeX to turn clipping on. I use
%------------------------------
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\Clip}[1]{%
\let\zztmp=\includegraphics%
\def\includegraphics{\Gin@cliptrue\Gin@i}%
#1%
\let\includegraphics=\zztmp%
}
\makeatother
%------------------------------
and then put a '\Clip{' before and a '}' after the tobeclipped
graphics. To clip all graphics use
%------------------------------
\makeatletter
\def\includegraphics{\Gin@cliptrue\Gin@i}
\makeatother
%------------------------------
in the preamble.
Other TeX stuff I use include the handy
%------------------------------
\newcommand{\C}[1]{{}} % Comment
%------------------------------
to comment out whole blocks of LyX text.
Also useful is the combo
%------------------------------
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\CapListEntry}[1]{\def\@CapListEntryFlag{1}\def\@CapListEntryText{#1}}
\def\@CapListEntryFlag{0}
\def\caption#1{\refstepcounter\@captype%
\ifodd\@CapListEntryFlag%
\@dblarg{\@caption\@captype}[\@CapListEntryText]{#1}%
\def\@CapListEntryFlag{0}%
\else%
\@dblarg{\@caption\@captype}{#1}%
\fi}
\makeatother
%------------------------------
to use the optional argument or caption, i.e. allow different text in
the list of figures/tables. CapListEntry can be made a LyX environment
by adding
# ------------------------------
# Caption style definition
Style CapListEntry
Margin First_Dynamic
LatexType Command
LatexName CapListEntry
NeedProtect 1
LabelSep x
ParSkip 0
TopSep 0
Align Block
AlignPossible Block, Left
LabelType Static
LabelString Entry:
Font
Size Small
EndFont
End
# ------------------------------
to ~/.lyx/layouts/stdlayouts.inc.
Then, just put the CapListEntry environment before tha caption
environment and...
have fun,
