Actually, I would also define things like footnotes like that, to
remove as much hardcoding as possible. Not all layouts want the same
appearance for these notes anyway.
So it could be
Inset Footnote
Collapsable 1
Font
Size Small
EndFont
LabelString "foot"
End
InsetFootnote.cpp would only need to contain a few things (latex
knowledge).
The idea here is that there wouldn't need to BE an InsetFootnote.cpp.
That's certainly the idea with Endnote. So you could have this:
Inset Footnote
LyXType Collapsable
LatexName footnote #this is implicitly a command, I take it
Font
Size Small
EndFont
LabelString "foot"
End
Or something along those lines. Then InsetFoot (and the peculiar
InsetFootlike) vanishes. I'd have to check what happens here with plain
text and docbook output, though, and there's also a possible issue with
insetAllowed(). So this particular case might not be amenable to such
treatment.
In any event, with endnote.sty, the target is something like this:
Inset Endnote
LyXType Collapsable
LatexName endnote
Font
Size Small
EndFont
LabelString "foot"
Preamble
\usepackage{endnote}
EndPreamble
End
We don't want InsetEndnote, in large part because, as Martin said, this
should make it possible to support lots of LaTeX packages without
messing with the actual code. And allowing
LyXType Command
which would generate an InsetCommand-type inset could allow lots of
interesting things, too, but that's another topic.
So, anyway, I guess we need to settle on what the *.layout code will
look like. Once that's in place, it won't be terribly hard to redo the
code to separate this out. I've already made a list of what bits of
which files need to be changed. But I'll finish the modular layout stuff
first....
