I really don't think that a) it is necessary, b) it is wise. a) Creation of new .layout file is so simple, that there is really no cost associated. Just pick the layout which is similar to your new one (usually either report, article, or book -- most documents fall into this category; well, except for letters which are different game altogether) and then copy for every new paragraph style one from std*.inc and change name of the style and name of the LaTeX environment. That's it. b) One of my most costly learned experiences is that there should be always just ONE source document and if there are any intermediate documents necessary, they should be ALWAYS (even five years down the road) reproductible from this original source document, just with some simple command (preferably recorded in Makefile). You not only avoid confusion and discrepancies between the versions, but some other things (like RCS) do not make sense otherwise. >> working from LyX, but emacs or some other text editor might be >> well-suited to the fine formatting and tedious >> character-by-character massaging when you hear back from the >> book designer and copy-editor. > > That's a very good idea. I really do not think so -- any tweaking you may need to do can be as easily done with ERT.
