Dear LyXians,
Despite doing my best looking through the wiki and email archives, I'm
stumped, and I think I'd better ask for help.
I'd like to use \textsuperscript{} and \textsubscript{} (available in
the KOMA-script classes) to generate 'true' super- and sub-scripts. I
can do this with ERT of course, but it looks ugly and interrupts the
flow of reading.
Is there a way in which I can add a new style (?char style ?inset) so
that all I see of the \textsuperscript{XYZ} is the parameter, i.e. XYZ
(perhaps in some particular font).
I think I need to be creating a new InsetLayout, but I don't know
exactly what to put in the file or where to save it for it to be
accessible as a module.
Yes, that's what you need. Try something like this:
#\DeclareLyXModule{TextSuperSub}
#DescriptionBegin
#Adds an endnote inset, in addition to footnotes. You will need to add
#\theendnotes in ERT where you want the endnotes to appear.
#DescriptionEnd
Format 11
InsetLayout Custom:Superscript
LyXType custom
LatexName textsuperscript
LatexType command
Decoration classic
Font
Size Small
EndFont
MultiPar false
LabelString super
End
and something similar for subscripts. Save it to textsupersub.module in
your LyX layouts directory and reconfigure. You can tweak it as you wish.
Documentation is in the Customization manual, section 5.3.6. Look at
endnotes.module and the other modules for more ideas.
FYI, if you add something to the preamble so this can be used with
non-Koma classes, e.g.:
\ifx\textsuperscript\undefined{
\newcommand\textsuperscript{...}
\fi
this could be included in 1.6.x. Often requested.
