Hi all,
Including one hyperlink in my document removes the color for all my
URLs. What I really want is my hyperlinks colored the same as my
URLs (currently red), but I definitely don't want my URLs colorless.
Does anyone know how to apply hyperlinks without screwing up URL
colors?
RELEVANT FACTS:
Linux, 64 bit Void distro
LyX version 2.2.2
Document class based on document class "book".
\usepackage{soul}
\usepackage[bookmarks,
plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,colorlinks=true,bookmarksnumbered=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{color}
I made a small test document (attached) using the standard book
class.
Paul, it turns around that, for some reason, when I put:
\usepackage[bookmarks,
unicode=true,plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,colorlinks=true,bookmarksnumbered=true]{hyperref}
LyX ignored the arguments. But, when I put:
bookmarks,
unicode=true,plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,colorlinks=true,bookmarksnumbered=true
in the Custom field in the document settings document class dialog box,
coloration comes back.
So that material must be repeated twice, once in that field, and once
in the layout file.
ACTUALLY, I lied. It turns out that if I have:
\usepackage{hyperref} in the layout and the arguments in the field, it
still works.
OH WAIT, I lied some more. It turns out I don't even have to put in the
layout file:
\usepackage{hyperref}
LyX somehow just knows that.
Whatever this is all about, it's in need of some serious documentation.
But, the good news is, I can go about my business using both URLs and
hyperlinks.
Thanks,

LyX loads certain LaTeX packages automagically when it sees some
features of the document that it knows will need said packages. I'm
pretty sure hyperref is in that category (see a hyperlink, load the
package). What I believe happens then is that if the user tries to load
the package manually in the preamble, LaTeX sees two \usepackage
statements for the same package and pays attention to only one of them
(the first, I think). I think the automatic load precedes user
specifications in the preamble, so the user's options get lost. Seems to
me I've seen a trick suggested in some cases where the user indicates
that some module or something provides the disputed package, to prevent
LyX from adding the automatic load command. (Note all the qualifiers in
the previous paragraph: I'm not at all sure about this.)
As the Bard said, though, all's well that ends well.
