Additional layout question and tex2lyx problems
I am trying to support a command with argument for run-in headings: It produces a small vertical skip without indent and then writes the text in the argument in a bold font. Is it possible to mimic this behavior in LyX? I experimented with the LabelType Manual directive but could not get it to work as I also need to pass the label text as an argument. At this time I am simply using a static label to indicate the style but this is of course not a very good solution. I also ran into various problems with tex2lyx when I tried to import tex-documents with LaTeX-commands that use required or optional arguments and that are supported in the layout. Are such problems well known or should I file a bug report? tex2lyx also failed to import an unsupported command with optional argument: in \sidecaption[t] the optional argument was imported as regular text.

Such problems are not known (assuming you really called the correct tex2lyx that has access to the .layout files, LyX itself sometimes chooses the wrong one). tex2lyx is supposed to import all LaTeX commands that are directly mapped to styles in the .layout file. tex2lyx also failed to import an unsupported command with optional argument: in \sidecaption[t] the optional argument was imported as regular text. This is expected. tex2lyx cannot decide whether [xxx] is an optional argument or standard text if it does not know whether the command supports an optional argument. You need to add those commands to the lib/synlib/syntax.default file. Then they will be imported correctly by tex2lyx (as ERT). Georg

In LyX the argument appears on a line by itself (rather than running into the text). This behavior is a little different from the output but probably more in line with wysiwym than a faithful representation.
Re: Additional layout question and tex2lyx problems
Thanks! I have filed a bug (#7468) for those cases where there should be support from the layout file. I believe that the layout was known to tex2lyx since the created LyX document used formatting that I had defined in the same layout file. Marcus
