Hi all,
I have a local layout, based on Book-extsizes, for my new book. I have
no idea what the book's title will be yet, and I sure nuff don't want
to have to search all instances of that title and replace them every
time I get a better idea for the title.
Soooo, what I want to do is put something in my local layout to
articulate the title, both in the LyX authoring environment and in the
compiled PDF, showing the title in a specific appearance. I tried to do
it as a character style, as follows:
========================================================================
\definecolor{titlebodytextcolor}{HTML}{cc0000}
% ### Character style for book title within body text
\newcommand{\chartitlebodytextL}[0]{{\color{titlebodytextcolor}My
Current Title As Of Today}}%
CharStyle CharTitleInBody
Font
Series Bold
Color Red
EndFont
LabelFont
Series Bold
Size Larger
Color Red
EndLabelFont
LatexName chartitlebodytextL
LatexType Command
LabelString "My Current Title As Of Today"
End
========================================================================
If I apply the character style CharTitleInBody to an empty string in
LyX, the exact right thing happens in the PDF, but in the LyX
authoring environment the title appears under the character style inset
and also under the following text, which is very disturbing if you're
trying to copy-edit your book in the LyX environment.
Does anybody know what I can do to make the text appear inline, instead
of underneath, within the LyX authoring environment?
Thanks,
SteveT

Steve,
This is not an answer to your question, but possibly something simpler.
If you load the 'titling' package in the document preamble, you can put
anything you want in the document's title environment and then just use
\thetitle (or maybe \thetitle{}) in ERT any place you want to repeat the
title. If you get the hots for a new title later, you just have to
change it in the title environment. This doesn't deal directly with the
funky formatting of the title, but it does eliminate the
search-and-replace aspect.
