I would have thought that preview insets could be used to do this. Use Insert> Preview to create such an inset, and then put whatever you want previewed into it. Note that this is completely general: Anything you can put into LyX can be put into a preview inset, and it should be updated whenever the contents is. Probably another way to do this would be to use external templates. Riki
