Re: Variable to be used from Lyx in the LaTeX text
Ok, thanks. I'll have a look and if I can't figure it out I'll ask again. el Sent from Dr Lisse's iPad mini > On Jan 7, 2014, at 18:55, Liviu Andronic wrote: > >> On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 5:16 PM, Richard Heck wrote: >> >> This is what layout files are for.

I remember that there was an older discussion on this (suggesting the use of math macros in this case, too), but I'm not sure what's the current state in LyX for this. Liviu

Variable to be used from Lyx in the LaTeX text
Hi, I have designed me a few form letters, and in one I need to use a date repeatedly in the text. It is a bit of a nuisance to have to look for the date throughout the text. I can put in LaTeX variables and enter the value in the preamble but wonder how I would create another variable (such as PS/CC/Encl) in the drop down menu so it appears at the top of the LyX text. Any suggestions? el
