I would like to have parts of the nomenclature as a separate
section,
I know the word "nomenclature" means "a system of names", but what
does it mean as applied in LyX?
Thanks,
SteveT
If you want to explain words in your document, you use
outline > nomenclature entries
behind the word. It shows the word as a symbol and you add a
description underneath.
I am used to Glossary instead of nomenclature, which you get with
\AtBeginDocument{\def\nomname{Glossary}}
%leads to bold nomenclature title in entries >
\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{\textsf{\textbf{#1}}}
\renewcommand{\nomname}{Glossary
}
in the preamble of > Document
One can also create a part of the nomenclature as a separate section,
e.g. Abbreviations
That is what I am after.
there is a nomenclature manual for latex, but I would like to know for
LyX
Perhaps somebody can help me.

I've needed both those things for 20 years. Thank you!!!
If I understand your situation, you already know how to do what you
need in LaTeX, and then make LyX commands and environments to make it
accessible in LyX, and now you're trying to see if there's a native LyX
way to do it. Being less than a newbie when it comes to nomenclatures,
and not understanding *exactly* what you're looking to do, I did a quick
look and found stuff you probably already know about, but just in case I
found something new, here it is:
The LyX functions manual has the following:
* dialog-show appears to take a nomenclature argument
* Ditto with inset-insert
* There's a nomencl-insert command
* There's a nomencl-print command
The Additional LyX Features manual contains the following sentence:
There is at present no support for glossaries. Adding it would
be fairly trivial, and welcome.
The User's Guide contains a special environment called Verbatim, which
can contain "index- and nomenclature entries".
The Embedded Objects manual contains nothing about Nomenclature
The User Guide contains a section on using Nomenclature/Glossary.
As you already mentioned, when I search CTAN for "nomenclature", I get
8 results.
===
One happy prospect I see is that it can be done in LaTeX, and the
Additional Features manual seems to say it's needed and would be easy to
implement in LyX. If there's no other way, you could implement it in
LyX, thereby solving your problem and also getting a tickertape parade
from the LyX community. I think you're already better at LaTeX than I,
but if you need some assistance, perhaps I could provide some.

Steve, I am quite low-brow in latex. What I did was following the hints
given in the list and try it out. I have put it together in the text
file in the annex of this mail.
It works as an appendix behind a chapter, but not behind a section.

Nomenclature package:
##################################################
https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/TOC
How do I add the nomenclature to the toc in LyX?
As noted above if you use a KOMA-Script class you can use the document
option idxtotoc to include Bibliography, Lists of Figures/Tables and Appendix.
What is not mentioned is that Nomenclature is also included when using this
command.
Else,
Add the following to the preamble:
\def\nompreamble{\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\nomname}\markboth{\nomname}{\nomname}}
##################################################
How can I get Bibliography, Lists of Figures/Tables and Appendix to appear in
the table of contents (TOC)?
If you use a KOMA class: use the document option liststotoc
Else: use the package tocbibind from CTAN:/, i.e. \usepackage{tocbibind}
If you use \usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind} instead, the toc will not show up
in the toc.

From my letter to Lyx User Group, corrected for chapter, not section (which
does not work):
The following link
https://github.com/scottkosty/lyx-princeton-diss
allows to download the scottkosty /lyx-princeton-diss
(use the green box "code")
The trick is to put (by using the \usepackage{appendix} in the preamble behind
the place where one wants to insert the subappendix/ces (here chapter 3) the
following (as an example):
%%at end of chapter 3 add:
\begin{subappendices} %%in ERT
Appendix %% as chapter*
3.A Appendix of Chapter 3 %% as section
3.B Appendix of Chapter 3 %% as section
\end{subappendices} %%in ERT
This results in te pdf output as:
Appendix
3.A. Appendix of Section 3.4
3.B. Appendix of Section 3.5
