To get it working more easy, I put the stuff below into my lyx configuration files. With this I can just press M-g u to insert an exercise, and then M-g a to insert ERT (two greyblocks) so I can write the answer between the grey blocks. I'm sorry for the bad explaination of how it works, but I'm quite satisfied with it. Here is the stuff I use: --------------------------------------- in the LaTeX preamble \Newassociation{sol}{Svar}{ans} {\theorembodyfont{\upshape} \newtheorem{uppg}{Uppgift}} \newenvironment{ug}{\begin{uppg}\normalfont}{\end{uppg}} and in the bind files \bind "M-g u" "layout GGGUG" \bind "M-g a" "command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \begin{sol}; next-inset-toggle; ert-insert; self-insert \end{sol}; next-inset-toggle; char-backward;" and in the layouts file # Uppgift style definition Style GGGUG LatexType Environment LatexName ug ParSkip 0.4 ParSep 0.4 TopSep 0.4 Align Left AlignPossible Left LabelType Top_Environment LabelString "Uppgift " OptionalArgs 1 # label font definition LabelFont Series Bold EndFont End
