No, that is not possible without source code change. > I'd like to have at least one additional entry which results in \Prettyref > instead of \prettyref.

If you want to have a look at this, these are the interesting files: src/insets/insetref.h src/insets/insetref.C These deal with reading and writing the LyX file, export to LaTeX and onscreen display. Here you have to add the new types. If you can live without GUI support then that is enough ;-) src/frontends/controllers/ControlRef.h src/frontends/controllers/ControlRef.C These provide the connection between the LyX kernel and the frontend. You will probably not need to touch them. src/frontends/qt2/QRefDialog.h src/frontends/qt2/QRefDialog.C src/frontends/qt2/QRef.h src/frontends/qt2/QRef.C These implement the logic of the references dialog. You may or may not need to touch these, I don't know. src/frontends/qt2/ui/QRefDialogBase.ui This is probably the most important file for you. Here you will need to add the new options. This file is best edited in qt3 designer, but you can also use vim if you prefer ;-) If you want to have a go and experience problems or do not understand something, please don't hesitate to ask. It would be very nice if you could add support for some of these reference types. That would make a nice addition to LyX, and this kind of stuff is especially suited for somebody who does not know much about the LyX internals, because the code is isolated. Note however that we will not be able to put it in the official 1.4.x series, because it is a file format change, so it would go to 1.5. We would also need lyx2lyx support, but I can take care of that. Georg
