But why don't you just put \begin{comment} and \end{comment} as ERT around
the to-be-commented text? (Or Herberts tex commands)
Once I look at this, the LyXish solution would be to open a Comment
paragraph and nest the to-be-commented text in it.
If the first line of the to-be-commented text is a Standard paragraph, this
can be converted to comment, if not, you need to insert some stuff so the
Comment paragraph is not removed before you are able to nest something in it.
Developers:
-----------
* could the Comment Style get a KeepEmpty 1 tag?
* What would be a command-sequence to open a Comment and nest the
selection in it (as opposed to setting all selected paragraphs to
Comment Style)?
Or do we need a new lyx function for this.
