Hi
I recently tried to use lyx to generate some uncomplex html
pages. Ran into what appears to be a known but unfixed bug getting
URL's to appear as links in my html.
It still seems to be there with cvs 1_2_x lyx and latest latex2html.
this appears to have been discussed but I have not seen posted a
useable solution yet. Here is a workaround, improvements welcome.
Problem appears to be lyx outputs a \IfFileExists command which
latex2html does not understand. The edit is trivial but not automated.
A workaround is a tiny perl script as inlined later called noexist.
make it executeable, put it somewhere in your search path
then within lyx edit your
preferences => conversion => converters => LaTeX->HTML
add to the start of the converter command
noexist $$i ;
prior to the latex2html, right at the start of the line.
modify/apply/save that.
then html export works for me with URL's.

open OUT, ">$file" || die "cannot open $file for output";
while (<IN>) {

}
print OUT $_;
}
unlink("$file.orig");
