Dear LyX experts,
for a brouchure I want to use coloured boxes wrapped with the normal text as
design elemet to summarize the main points of a chapter.
To that extent I defined in the Preamble
a new float type (using float.sty)
__________________________
\newfloat {floatBox}{htb}{mp}
_________________________
_______________________
and a box environment (after H. Voss Lyx Latex Page) and two floating variants
of it and their LyX layouts.
___________________________
\newenvironment{myBox} {%
\noindent%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\columnwidth}%
\vspace{0.5ex}%
}{%
\end{minipage}%
\end{lrbox}%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\vspace{0.5ex}%
}
______________________________
the extension of thist Box to a Float gives the expected result.
________________________________
\newenvironment{myFloatBox}{%
\begin{floatBox}%
\begin{myBox}%
}{%
\end{myBox}%
\end{floatBox}
}
_________________________________
however when I define a wrapped environment using wrapfig.sty
_______________________________
\newenvironment{myWrapBox}{%
\begin{wrapfloat}{floatBox}{O}[1.5cm]{0.55\columnwidth}%
\begin{myBox}%
}{%
\end{myBox}%
\end{wrapfloat}
}
_____________________________________
the box is shifted to the end of the text. When I use the myBox Layout and
enclose it in ERT with the wrapfig environmetn I get the expected results.
(???). Has anybody an explanation for that behavior?
I have also another Question:
Is it possible to define a lyx-style which results in a latex-command with
more than one argument?
I'd like to introduce the units package into lyx, but to that purpose I need
more than one argument {optional as well as mandatory} as the commands are
defined as follows:
\unit[val]{unit}
\unitfrac[val]{num}{denom}.
with val as the Value to be displayed and num and denom as numerator and
denominator in a fraction.
The customisation guide isn't clear in that respect.
TIA
