way to avoid that behavior and make only \href{http://...}{Weebsite
link} actual links?
You don't mention what driver you're using (that is, what kind of
document you're producing, and what program is producing it), and
hyperref does have some driver-dependent behavior. However, the
following works for me with pdflatex:
- You can tell hyperref to leave existing LaTeX commands alone and only
create its own macros, such as \url and \href. Do this by setting the
"implicit=false" option when you include hyperref in the preamble:
\usepackage[implicit=false]{hyperref}
If you do this, and create your links using LyX's Insert->URL...
command, then you'll get what you asked for: only those URLs will be
converted to links.
- Sometimes it's more useful to let hyperref turn everything into links,
but without changing the text's appearance. That lets readers navigate
by links without the visual distractions. For that, you can use these
hyperref options:
colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black,urlcolor=black
(I got this from someone else's message to the list - thanks, whoever
that was.) You may want to play around with these a bit to get exactly
the effect you want.
- Your LaTeX installation ought to include the hyperref documentation,
which describes all this handy stuff. In my MiTeX installation, it's in
texmf/doc/latex/hyperref/ - start with manual.html. (If you're not sure
where to find it, search your disk for hyperref.) LaTeX typically comes
with tons of package documentation and other useful tidbits, but it's a
bit disorganized.
