I meant user customization by means of inclusion
in layouts and modules. This can be used for
logotypes, special babel commands, etc. One can
not hard code any special symbol in advance.
If you want to add custom insets, paragraph or character styles, then
the best way to
do so is to create your own module that defines one or more of these,
and then use it
in the usual way. Instructions are in chapter 5 of the Customization manual.
If what you want to add isn't one of these things, then, well, you can't
do do that quite
so easily. In fact, though, what I said earlier isn't quite true. You
can give LyX the
ability to recognize (and even display) new characters and such by
adding them to the
unicodesymbols file, which lives in the system directory, e.g.:
/usr/local/share/lyx/
on Linux, by default. But there's no provision for doing this in modules.
