Per-chapter appendices for LyX book

2011-10-12 Thread Torquil Macdonald Sørensen

Hi!

Does LyX support the Appendix package? My hunch is that lyx does not support 
this natively. Am I right?


I'm writing something (documentclass book) that needs to have per-chapter 
appendices. So the last few sections in each chapter would be appendices. I've 
found that this can be done in LyX by:


1) \usepackage{appendix} in the preamble

2) Enclose the last sections of each chapter by ERT-s:

\begin{subappendix}

and

\end{subappendix}

This works beautifully. E.g. the first appendix in chapter 3 is denoted 3.A, 
which is great!


But is it possible for me to define some sort of function to do this in LyX 
without using ERT? I image some sort of box (looking similar to lyx note), in 
which I can put several Sections. The contents of this box would then be 
effectively enclosed in a subappendices environment as described above.


Is this something that can be done by defining those custom insets that are 
accessible from the Insert menu? Or by defining a module, accessible from 
the Document settings?


Or is it possible to get per-chapter section appendices in a LyX book by some 
other, and perhaps simpler, method?


Thanks, and best regards
