This SHOULD work. As you see, LyX does update the file to the new

What you might want to do is just to put your old Format 2 code into a
module and let LyX do the conversion to Format 11 for you. You can also
run:
python $LYXDIR/layout2layout.py oldlayout.module newlayout.module
and see how LyX converts it, then just use newlayout.module instead of
oldlayout.module.
It worked. The main difference is that the script gives :
InsetLayout CharStyle:Latin
where my handcrafted version had
InsetLayout Latin
The 'Charstyle:' is not very elegant but seems to be necessary.
It's necessary only because that's how lyx2lyx does the translation.
And, well, it used to be necessary, but then it wasn't. So you do NOT
have to put that in your own layouts, though if you want to translate an
old one then, as you see, you should.
We only discovered this issue very late....
And in fact, they can be collapsable if you want them to be. The
Decoration tag controls this.
What is the difference between Minimalistic and Conglomerate ? I do not see
on the screen any difference.
I think they collapse or expand differently.
Would it be possible when your cursor is in a zone formatted with a custom
charstyle to print in the status bar after the font formatting information
something like 'Custom character style : Foo' ?
I assume. Though was meant to be what Ctrl-E was for: so that you can
see what charstyle it is.
