Enrico Forestieri 8561f4f2ca Better fix for bug 3510 (by me, Juergen, and Jean-Marc)
* lib/layouts/IEEEtran.layout: Add a proper definition to the
	preamble when using the MarkBoth environment (fix bug 3510).
	Allow inserting an optional argument for theorem like environments.
	Remove white space from begin of line in preamble stuff.

	* lib/templates/IEEEtran.lyx: Reintroduce the MarkBoth environment
	in the document body thanks to the fix above. Use optional argument
	instead of ERT in Theorem environment. Use the new --Separator--
	environment for splitting biography environments.

HOW TO CREATE A NEW TEMPLATE
============================

Templates are almost usual LyX file that are saved by LyX itself.
The strength is on "almost".

LyX stores some properties in a file, for example:

        \textclass dinbrief
        \language german
        \inputencoding default
        \fontscheme default
        \epsfig dvips
        \papersize a4paper
        \paperfontsize 12
        \baselinestretch 1.00
        \secnumdepth 3
        \tocdepth 3
        \paragraph_separation skip
        \quotes_language german
        \quotes_times 2
        \paperorientation portrait
        \papercolumns 9
        \papersides 1
        \paperpagestyle plain

Some of these may be very reasonable for a certain template. In the
case of a dinbrief-template this might be the papersize, the language
and the quotes-settings, since it is a german-only template.  But it
wouldn't make much sense to set the fontscheme or the inputencoding,
since a user might have customized this already like he/she wanted it
to be.

So please delete all the lines of a new template with your favorite
text editor (for example ed, ex or vi) that you don't want to set
explicit for this template. LyX will use the user's default-values
(defined in lyxrc) if a property isn't defined in the file itself.
