Re: Introduction of a parameterless command in a layout

[Carlos A M dos Santos]

You can use "KeepEmpty 1", but the empty {} will still exist. I doesn't
hurts. Example:

        # Appendix style definition
        Style Appendix
          Margin                Dynamic
          LatexType             Command
          LatexName             appendix
          NeedProtect           1
          NextNoIndent          1
          ParSkip               0.4
          TopSep                4
          BottomSep             0.8
          ParSep                0.8
          Align                 Block
          AlignPossible         Block
          LabelType             Static
          KeepEmpty             1
          LabelString           "Appendix"

          # standard font definition
          Font 
            Series              Bold
            Size                Large
            Color               Blue
          EndFont
        End

One thing I'd like to see in LyX is the support for optional parameters
like in

        \chapter[Name in toc]{Long, long, long name}

Currently it is possible tu use a trick in the layout setting LabelType to
"Manual".  Other interesting feature would be commands with more than one
parameter like

        \foo{bar}{baz}
