1) The title should be followed by a footnote marked with *,

Actually, the idea is the same as in TLC2e, p. 115.

What about something like

\thanks{The author wishes to thank his girlfriend, kids, pets, and
the LyX community.}

No need for ERT. If you insert a footnote at the end of your title,
LyX is smart enough to format it as a \thanks.


Yes, this works. Without tricks. Thanks!


Beware, that \thanks{} is fragile in LaTeX. Try inserting a bullet
list in a thanks footnote. It won't compile without some
strategically placed \protect commands. Then try inserting a bullet
list in a normal footnote. It works. Bizarre behaviours like this one
are kept to oblige you to buy fat and expensive LaTeX manuals ;-)


Another thing are urls within a \thanks. I tried to include my email as a url, but all I've got were a bundle of Latex errors. After examining my thick and quite expensive ;-) TLC2e, I figured out the trick:

Preamble:
\usepackage{url}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
ERT in text:
\thanks{bla bla bla \myemail{}}

nonsense ...

-- insert the title or author with LyX as usual
-- insert a footnote with LyX as usual, it is converted into a thanks
-- insert an url _with LyX_ as usual

there is noo need for ERT
