I use URLs a lot and I don't quite like how they are handled. On the text output (pdf, dvi) they are just put next to the name of the url, for example: "Jabber http://www.jabber.org";.>
Is it possible to achieve something like "Jabber (http://www.jabber.org)" and a smaller font for the URL, or better, can the URL end up as a reference or footnote?
You don't need to use the URL box. You can use the command
\url{Your URL}
in ERT within a footnote and/or mark the url and set its characters to another size.
You can also create hyperlinks with underlying adress using the command
\href{Your URL}{displayed text}
in ERT.
You need to load the LaTeX-package "hyperref" to use these commands and to get real hyperlinks. I attached an example file.
My other concern is that when I turn it into HTML, it is not converted into an HyperLink, can that be done?
I remember that this is a known bug. But it will be converted, when you use the hyperref-package (also if you don't use \href but LyX's URL box).
