Dear LyX-Developers,
So, after working on the Side Caption style, I got excited and thought that I
would try and make an "epigraph" style for memoir and my custom class.
The epigraph command allows the enterprising author to add a quotation to their
document prior to the start of the chapter (see page 249 of the memoir manual).
It takes arguments:
\epigraph{text}{source}
Here is my layout definition that would enable this for the memoir class:
Style Epigraph
Category Special_Commands
Margin Static
LatexType command
LatexName lyxepigraph
RequiredArgs 1
NextNoIndent 1
LeftMargin MMM

LabelType No_Label
HTMLTag epigraph
HTMLItem p
Font
Family Roman
Shape Italic
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand{\lyxepigraph}[2]{\epigraph{#2}{#1}}
End Preamble
End
The preamble line is necessary because LyX places required arguments added
through the "opt" inset before paragraph text. The memoir epigraph command
takes first the paragraph text and then the source.
Like in the case of the last example, is there a way to create a custom "opt"
inset that could have "Epigraph Source" for the label and could be added from
"Insert > Custom > Epgraph Source". I wasn't able to find a readily obvious
answer.
Cheers,
Rob
