This layout is over 600 lines long -- way too long to change the parent document class and then change everything else. My solution needs to keep the derivation from Book. I need two environments with which to represent a diary. The first, called diaryheader, has an indented first line and a large (5ex or so) vertical space before it. The date and the following text goes on it. Following paragraphs pertaining to the same date are in environment diaryparagraph, which has no indentation or vertical space before it. So far I made the following skeleton: Style DiaryParagraph CopyStyle Standard End Style DiaryHeader CopyStyle DiaryParagraph End Later I'll be filling in the LyX and LaTeX to adopt the proper appearance, and I'm not worried about that right now. But one thing confuses me. How do I make sure that any DiaryHeader paragraph is automatically, by default, followed by a DiaryParagraph paragraph, and any DiaryParagraph paragraph is also followed, automatically by default, by another DiaryParagraph paragraph? I'm pretty sure this is possible because I could swear I've seen paragraphs automatically followed by other types of paragraphs, or the same type of paragraph. So how do I do it?

No. DefaultStyle is a global setting that defaults the next paragraph to a certain environment, REGARDLESS of the current environment. What we're talking about is, for a specific environment, specifying what environment the next paragraph will default to. I tried -- you can't put DefaultStyle within a style.
