Re: Creating a .layout file with two command arguments

[Jeremy Daily]

Mael,

Thanks for the suggestion. The logic made sense, but your suggestion did 
not work. LyX generated an extra line between the commands in the tex file.

Another question:

How can I get the Date environment to display "Copyright: 2006" in LyX? 
The final output is correct so this display is a nicety rather than a 
necessity.

Here is my attempt:

# Copyright
Style Date
 Margin        Static
 LatexType        Command
 InTitle        1
 LatexName        SAECopyright
 ParSkip        0.4
 ItemSep        0
 TopSep        0
 BottomSep        1
 ParSep        1
 Align            left
 AlignPossible     left
 LabelType        Static
 LabelString    "Copyright: "

 # standard font definition
 Font
   Family        Sans
   Series        medium
   Size        tiny
 EndFont

End

Thanks again,

Jeremy

in the LyX .layout file, an error is given. I cannot figure out a way

This is not possible in a dynamic way (i.e. you only can specify one 
parameter into LyX window). Perhaps, a workaround could consist in 
using two layout styles as the folowing (not tested):

Style Author
Margin        Static
LatexType        Command
InTitle        1
LatexName        AddAuthor
End

Style Affiliation
Margin        Static
LatexType        Command
InTitle        1
LatexName        donothing
Preamble
    \newcommand{\donothing}[1]{{#1}}
EndPreamble
End

... which would generate the following LaTeX code:

\AddAuthor{Author name}\donothing{Affiliation}

Hope that this will help...

Mael.
