I'm trying to write a novel in LyX, and I run into some problems with
sectioning.
The structure I have in mind is, the book would be divided into 50+
parts, each part having ten or so short chapters (about 50-60 pages per
part). [...]
The problem is, while I do want the book parts to be titled, I don't
want the chapters titled, just numbered.
[...]
The real problem is, how do I make the chapters untitled?
I know I can put a single hard space (Ctl-Space) as the chapter's title,
but
it's a waste of space on a chapter title page, and it won't look right
in the TOC.
Put a blank ERT where the chapter title goes.
By a blank ERT you mean an '{}' ERT, right?
Would this make the chapter start page to consume less vertical space?
Besides, it's not really an answer, my original question included the
following:
Is there any way to do this without using ERT on every single chapter
heading?
I'm pretty sure you can redefine the chapter environment so that before
invoking the text, you set #1 or whatever the argument's called to an empty
string. Then you can just use any string in the chapter environment, and it
won't show up in the ps/pdf environment.
Yes, that would be possible. But still kind of messy.
You can't use an environment on blank spaces (unless they're nonbreaking
blanks) because LyX doesn't work that way.
You can if you use the KeepEmpty layout tag. Then you can have empty
paragraphs. Still not ideal.
