Please see chapter 5 of the Customization manual. The process is
described there. In this case, you just need to wrap the preamble code
you want in:

EndPreamble

and then add the module declaration code at the top. Oh, and don't
forget the format tag, which must be the first non-comment,
non-whitespace line.

Create my own module

2011-08-14 Thread Francesco Menoncin

Dear LyX users,

I am using LyX 2.0.0 (on both Windows and Linux).
How can I create my own module and add it to the list in "Document 
Settings"?
For instance, I have put the following commands in the preamble in order 
to create a "balanced index"


\RequirePackage{multicol}

\renewenvironment{theindex}{

\columnseprule 0pt\relax

\columnsep 35pt\relax

\chapter*{\indexname}

\begin{multicols}{2}

\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase \indexname}{\MakeUppercase \indexname}

\thispagestyle{plain} \parindent 0pt\relax \parskip 0pt \@plus .3pt\relax

\let\item\@idxitem}

{\end{multicols}}


Nevertheless, if I were able to collect these commands in a module, I 
could use them in a much easier way.

Thank you,

Francesco
