Re: Creating an URL

2001-10-09 Thread Joerg Hau

  I would like to have a link as HTML link (as above) upon export
  to HTML, but on the other hand the URL should be _printed_ when
  the document is converted to DVI/PS/PDF/... In other words:
 
  HTML should give
  a href=http://x.y.zMy Link/a
 
  DVI/PS should give
  My Link (http://x.y.z)
 
  (or a similar format)
 
  I'm sure that it can be done (in fact, I was expecting LyX to do
  that with Insert-URL), but how?

 Put the following in the preamble:

 \usepackage{html}
 \usepackage{url}
 \latex{\renewcommand{\htmladdnormallink}[2]{#1 (\url{#2})}}

... wonderful, it works like a charm! 

Thanks a lot -- !!

Creating an URL

2001-09-26 Thread stephan . schlierf

Hi there,

what I want to do is to create a link from one file to another one.
I use document class book(koma-script) and included package url by putting
\usepackage{url} into the preamble.
I already tried the following:
- Insert - URL
- wrote \url[linkname{file.html} in plain LaTeX.
Then I tried to export the file by running Export - HTML.
Both failed that means what I see in the HTML-file is not a link but the
plain text linkname file.html
For conversion I use latex2html with the switches - no_subdir -split 0
-show_section_numbers

Can anybody tell me what to do to create an URL when using document class
book (I really would like to avoid document class LinuxDoc) ?

TIA

If I remember right, you had the chapters in individual files but all the
files to link belong to the same book.

Furthermore, if I remember right, latex2html does (can do) a splitting of
several chapters to several html-files. (Look at the latex2html
documentation/customization.)

So you can try to have all the stuff in one file (or master file) and link
as usual (mark and reference).

Re: Creating an URL

Hi Guenter,

hm, you are right and not: my plans were modified so that I create one
HTML-file for each window (concerning the online-help).
Therefore I need to have references from one file to another (like see
also: ...)
The problem I have is that I don´t know how to create a valid HTML-link
(something like url[linkname]{filename.html}
The reported ways I tried (using Insert - URL or putting plain TaTeX code
\url[linkname]{filename.html} in the text) didn´t show the effect I want
to have.
If I use document class book(koma-script) the only thing I see is linkname
filename.html written in plain text and not as a hyperlink in the
resulting html-file.
Any more hints?
