Hi,
I am looking for way to extend or customize the LyX layout (such as the
available styles) for a particular document only. While I know how to tweak
layouts in the global or user-specific Resources/layouts/ folder, I would
like to avoid this, as the document is shared with a couple of other users
and I don't want them to have to modify their personal configuration. The
document (which otherwise uses just standard classes and a standard layout)
should be editable "out of the box".
From what I have found so far, this does not seem to be possible with 1.4.x.
LyX already offers means for document-specific extensions to the LaTeX
preamble. It would be just consequent to provide something similar for
document-specific extensions to the layout as well.
One possibility might be to look up .layout and .inc files in the documents
path first, something like a document-specific LyxUser directory.
Everything not found there is then looked up in the ordinary LyxUser
directory and finally in the global LyxDir.
Any plans in this direction for 1.5?
Or am I missing something?
Daniel
