I may just be being too picky. I was able to \def a LaTeX command
with \ifthenelse very similar to what you describe: I just wanted
to make in a \newenvironment, and these sort of commands don't
seem to mesh well with that macro. My command was
\newcommand{\questxsol}[2]{
\ifthenelse{\equal{\notestype}{teacher}}{#2}
{ \ifthenelse{\equal{\questxenv}{example}} {#2}{#1} } }
The variable \notestype determines whether this is the student or
teacher version, and the variable \questxenv indicates whether
this solution is in a worked example, a homework problem, or an
exam question. (I've been using a single LaTeX file that is \input
inside a question/example/examQuestion environment so that the
questions are modular and formatted according to how they're used.)
Suppose I use the \solutioncmd or \questxsol in LyX rather than a
\newenvironment. How do I incorporate that command into a LyX
paragraph environment, or is that cleanly possible?
You can define a paragraph to be of "command" type. Section
headers, for example, are like this. This just determines whether
LyX outputs:
\begin{whatever}...\end{whatever}
or instead:
\whatever{...}
That might not be the cleanest thing in the world, but it might
still work.

I'll look for examples in the other layouts and give this a try.
When I get success (optimism!), I'll post the layout and an example
to the list. Thanks!
