Hi kc cao, I don't know exactly what you meant by "to the UI of LyX", but if you want to add a new environment, to a document, that will be given your specified appearance both in the PDF output and the LyX user interface, the way I do it is to create a layout file if none exists, and add the environment to the layout file. I've written extensively on this process, but using layout files was much more difficult back then. Now you just put the layout file in the same directory as the document, and import it as a local layout file, and BANG, it gets recognized, without all the mumbo-jumbo and hocus-pocus I used to have to recommend. Here are some docs I've written about this: http://troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingYourOwnLayout http://troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_ExpandingYourLayoutFile http://troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingaNoteEnvironment Being able to create your own environments and character styles makes LyX a desktop-publishing giant: Appearances exactly to your choice, but during authoring time you never make an appearance choice nor tweak appearance. You'll love it. Now, if only somebody would either finish the conversion of LyX native code to well formed and validated XML, or create a LyX to Xhtml converter that doesn't prematurely convert styles to appearance and create different paragraph types (class=) just to specify which body text doesn't get indented, LyX would be the perfect overall authoring machine.
