Does anyone know how to set a background color (i.e. lightgray) for a
section
or a subsection so that it appears also in the output PDF?
To achieve this, you must assure that the section that should be colored
starts on a new page. This can be done by adding a page break in front
of the section.
Right after the linebreak and before the section, add this command as
TeX-code
\pagecolor{color}
where "color" is the color you want.
Finally add this to your document preamble:
\...@ifundefined{textcolor}
{\usepackage{color}}{}
How to define your own color is explained in the EnbeddedObjects manual,
sec. 2.11 "Colored Tables".
I sent you an example LyX file in private mail (too big for this mailing list).
