My bad: actually, lyx does in fact successfully parse the documentclass. Only,
during latex export, it doesn't allow any \listof<float>s except for table
and figure - at this point in InsetFloatList::latex(), these are the only two
builtin floats.
But the Customization manual describes the LaTeXBuiltin parameter for custom
floats to be true if the documentclass defines the float - if not, LyX will
emit latex code to define the new float.
Therefore, all floats defined by the documentclass should be allowed to emit
\listof<float>s as built-ins if this command is defined. Currently, LyX even
performs this check. I am attaching a patch that fixes this problem. Requires
only one additional line.
Patch created from within src/insets
I have tested this with my REVTeX 4.1 layout and it works fine: the
\listofvideos is properly emitted.
Thanks,
Manoj
