Re: Map lyx style to latex command with many arguments?

I'm thinking of something like Description, except the first word would become
argument 1, the second word would become argument 2, ... the nth word would
become argument n, and the rest of the words would become argument n+1.
i.e. if you formatted the paragraph
one two three rest of the paragraph
in a style Foo, it might translate to a latex command like this:
\foo{one}{two}{three}{rest of the paragraph}
Is this possible, or am I stuck using ERTs?
AFAIK, no. You can have fix leading arguments in the layout file or you
need to have different styles for the different parts, e.g.
# dinbrief's \phone has 2 args, area and number. We define an empty
# command that can be set by the Area_Code style
Preamble
\newcommand{\areacode}{}
EndPreamble
# Telefon: Vorwahl und Rufnummer sind in Dinbrief separate Argumente:
# \phone{Vorwahl}{Rufnummer}
# Vorwahl
Style Area_Code
CopyStyle DinBrief
LabelString Vorwahl:
LatexName renewcommand{\areacode} # LyX adds the argument in {}
End
# Rufnummer
Style Phone
CopyStyle DinBrief
LabelString Telefon:
LatexName phone{\areacode}
End
Feel free to file a bugreport/feature-wish with bugzilla.
My idea would be to translate the (otherwise not needed) TAB character to
an argument separator, i.e.
one\ttwo\tthree\trest of the paragraph
translates to
\foo{one}{two}{three}{rest of the paragraph}
This would have the nice sideeffect, that description labels could contain
plain spaces, pressing TAB would start the description itself.

AFAIK, no. You can have "fix" leading arguments in the layout file or you
need to have different styles for the different parts, e.g.
# dinbrief's \phone has 2 args, area and number. We define an empty
# command that can be set by the Area_Code style
Preamble
\newcommand{\areacode}{}
EndPreamble
# Telefon: Vorwahl und Rufnummer sind in Dinbrief separate Argumente:
# \phone{Vorwahl}{Rufnummer}
# Vorwahl
Style Area_Code
CopyStyle DinBrief
LabelString "Vorwahl:"
LatexName "renewcommand{\areacode}" # LyX adds the argument in {}
End
# Rufnummer
Style Phone
CopyStyle DinBrief
LabelString Telefon:
LatexName phone{\areacode}
End

Map lyx style to latex command with many arguments?
Is there any way to create a custom style that maps to a latex command with
more than 2 arguments?
I'm thinking of something like Description, except the first word would become
argument 1, the second word would become argument 2, ... the nth word would
become argument n, and the rest of the words would become argument n+1.
i.e. if you formatted the paragraph
