Following Paul's lead, I made a small test document, but since I like to
use options that are provided through the LyX interface whenever possible,
I did everything through the "PDF Properties" dialogue under
document>settings to enable the options that Steve indicated. This way, I
wasn't putting anything into the document class options field, and the only
thing I had to put in the preamble was except \usepackage{soul}. (oh, and I
put pdfpagelabels in the "Additional Options" box under the "PDF
Properties" section of document settings).
Interestingly, I didn't get an error at all when compiling.
It had

Looking at the CTAN page for soul (http://ctan.org/pkg/soul), I would guess
that this is the "unicode denier." The documentation points to another
package, soulutf8 (http://ctan.org/pkg/soulutf8) to use if you want unicode
support. My sample document didn't have any unicode in it so maybe that's
why the problem isn't triggered.

Based on the way I set things up, in the "Additional Options" box of the
"PDF Properties" tab, putting urlcolor=red does the trick. (see
https://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html#x1-90003.5 ).

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.

I found this relevant email thread: http://marc.info/?l=lyx-devel&m=129193159214353&w=2 I still don't understand the problem. I think knitr introduces more problems than this one. It is possible (and extremely easy) to compile a .lyx file and arbitrary system code is run. With the URL feature, at least the user is the one who is consciously opening a link and can see the link (wherease with a .lyx file it is easy to hide the knitr chunk from the user). But I suppose it is not a fair argument to say "this is not as insecure as that so this is not bad" because even if that is true we still want as few vulnerabilities as possible. In any case, I will not start a debate since I'd prefer not to spend the time. Also, I personally wouldn't use the feature. Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I don't understand. Many applications have such a feature, even simple applications. For example, in gnome-terminal you can right-click on any string starting with 'http://' and there is a 'Open Link' option. Are the security concerns different for LyX?

"Launch file" warning from hyperlink in PDF
Hello, LyXers Two questions about hyperlinking executables. 1. I was hoping to create an annotated family media archive using LyX. A searchable and navigable text in PDF would serve as a guide to the archive. Hyperlinks would point to the media of interest and allow to play it on click. Imbedding this amount of media in PDF was not an option. As an annoying problem, Adobe Reader XI does not play videos until after user's response to a "Launch file" warning (see an attached sample). Recent fixes in the Adobe security notwithstanding, the Adobe Help seems to imply that it should be possible to suppress the warning. But no tried combination of Reader's preferences (Multimedia(legacy) | Multimedia Trust (legacy) | Security | Security (Enhanced) | Trust Manager ) would allow to circumvent the warning. Are there additional PDF options which one could specify in LyX so as to suppress the warning? Platform: LyX 2.0.5/MiKTeX 2.9/Win 7 2. Similarly, but more generally, could one hyperlink an aribitrary local executable (say, of my own making) and pass parameters to it? Adobe help seems to imply that, beyond the 3 choices offered by LyX (Web | eMail | File ), there also exist so called "Custom Links". Could the custom hyperlinks be defined through LyX? If so, could they be used (how?) for the above purpose of invoking ANY executable/script? Thank you for your time

I think hyperlinks are treated as insets. Right-clicking an inset in LyX normally brings up a context menu. Left-clicking an inset normally opens/collapses it. In the case of a hyperlink inset, though, left-clicking opens up the dialog box for it. Since there's nothing else you can do with a hyperlink (at least currently) other than modifying the text or URL, there's no need for a context menu, and apparently none is defined (hence the no action message). There may be other inset types where a left click does all that can be done with them, although at the moment none come to mind. /Paul
Hyperlink: "No action defined!"?
Hi, What is the purpose of right clicking on a hyperlink *inside* LyX? Reproduce: [Insert] > [Hyperlink]; add a link; right click on inserted hyperlink icon and the following pop up message appears: "No action defined!" What can I define where? Can I open this link from *within* LyX? That would be perfect. Anybody any idea? Many thanks! Cheers, Sam

I am trying to get LyX to hyperlink to a local pdf such that a clickable "name" field in the pdf created by lyx opens a desired pdf (located in the same folder as the LyX document and the pdf). I want to use local references because I am using dropbox with a colleague, I use a mac, he uses Windows. In LyX, click Insert > Hyperlink, put the link text in the Name field, the name of the PDF file (including extension, but excluding path) in the Target field, and click the File radio button. You're going to have to give LyX the benefit of the doubt on this: if you preview your file with one of the View > PDF (...) options, the link will be there but won't work when you click on it. If you _export_ your file to PDF, however, the link will work (provided that the target file is in the same directory as the exported document). The reason it doesn't work in preview mode is that LyX generates the preview document in a temporary directory, not in the document's home directory, and it does not copy the target file to the temp directory, nor does it adjust the path automatically (which I would characterize as a minor bug). If I am not being clear about what I am trying to do, I will try to explain again: I am working on a joint research paper, we are trying to write it in LaTeX, we would like the final PDF produced by LyX to link to PDFs in the same folder as the LyX document so that we can quickly jump to references. Essentially, I am writing him notes and saying: see here, and want him to be able to jump there. This will work, but keep in mind that the default behavior is for the link to _replace_ the current document with the target document (at least in Acrobat Reader). So the reader loses his/her place in the current document. If you want the link to open the target in a new reader window without closing the current document, go to Document > Settings > PDF Properties, enable "Use hyperref support", and add pdfnewwindow=true to the Additional options field. If the hyperlink would also work in LyX and/or anyone could give me advice on how to jump to a specific section in a pdf or how best to annotate said pdf this would all be REALLY helpful. Insert > Hyperlink causes your document to load the LaTeX hyperref package, which automatically creates bookmarks to major structural components of your PDF file (sections, subsections etc.), provided that they are numbered. If you look in the environment list, you'll see "starred" versions of several environments (e.g., Section and Section*). The starred versions are not numbered, and as a consequence hyperref will not create bookmarks for them. When the resulting PDF file is opened in Acrobat Reader (and I'm pretty sure other readers behave similarly), there will be a sidebar containing links to the unstarred components. You can control whether the sidebar is open or closed at the time the document is opened with one of hyperref's many options. If you want to generate a PDF that does not contain any external links (i.e., you're not going to do Insert > Hyperlink anywhere in it) but you do want the internal document links, just go to Document > Settings > PDF Properties and check "Use hyperref support". Note that you can also customize hyperref options there. See the manual that comes with hyperref for full details -- it should be located in the .../doc/latex/hyperref folder under your LaTeX distribution's installation directory. (All this presumes that you have the hyperref package installed, of course.) Thank you so much for understanding, sorry to be such a newbie if my questions seem stupid.

Maybe it's a nice feature, though it seems a bit arbitrary. LyX can't also escape reserved characters in the URL, for example, because it can't know if those characters are being used for their reserved purpose.

Yes, it'd be nice if the LyX documentation discussed file-scheme URLs in the material on hyperlinks. file-scheme URLs give many Windows users trouble, especially because some Microsoft software (notably IE and Explorer) have very sloppy rules for handling them. In theory, you could figure out how to write them by reading the URI specification (IETF STD0066, if memory serves), but it wouldn't be easy. Jukka Korpela has a discussion on file-scheme URLs, including some notes about how to use them on Windows, here: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/fileurl.html > Well, the PDF is processed and it works except in Acrobat where > Firefox opens with an empty tab, but I guess that's an Acrobat problem?! This could be the result of the stricter same-domain policy in Mozilla-based browsers, combined with something to do with how Acrobat is invoking Firefox. There's a short comment on that on Jukka's page. There's not much that can be done about it; it's a security measure, so it's supposed to be difficult to circumvent. By the way, you can ignore the bit I wrote above about using "c|" instead of "c:". That's no longer allowed by the current URI specification. A strictly-correct file-scheme URL on Windows would use "c%3a" for the drive letter and colon. -- Michael Wojcik Micro Focus Rhetoric & Writing, Michigan State University

The main point, in a case like this, is that the backslash (\) is not a valid URI character, nor is it the URI component separator for a hierarchical path. A valid file-scheme URL must use the forward slash (/). There's nothing OS-dependent about that; it's required by the URI specification. -- Michael Wojcik Micro Focus Rhetoric & Writing, Michigan State University

Ok that kind of works.
But how am I supposed to know that the directory has to be written like this?
There's no mention about this in the Hyperlink-chapter of the manual.
Well, the PDF is processed and it works except in Acrobat where Firefox opens
with an empty tab, but I guess that's an Acrobat problem?!
Thanks!

Is that a bug? "file:C:\file.txt" is not a valid URL. It should be
"file:///c:/file.txt". (Actually, even that isn't strictly valid; the
"c:" ought to be "c|". But everyone uses and supports "c:".)

Hyperlink question
Hi List,
I just found out that Lyx can also be used to create presentations.
It'd be nice if a presentation could link to external audio or video material
so I was searching and came across the Hyperlink function.
I tried to call a simple text file from C:\file.txt but got the following error:
Text\href{file:C:\file.txt}
{file-link}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
Am I doing something wrong or is the function to be used otherwise in general?
The User Guide isn't really clear on this topic.
I am running Lyx 1.6.1 under WinXP.
Regards,
Tao

hyperlink to html documents?
I'm using lyx to document some code (python). I used epydoc to generate html docs for the API. If I want to link from my lyx-generated pdf to that code, I see that file:///absolute_file_path.html will work (at least, when viewed with kpdf). I would rather use a relative file path. Is this feasible? Do other pdf viewers support this as well?
Re: Create hyperlink in presentation (beamer) which launches program when clicked?
Rainer M Krug wrote: Hi Is it possible to insert into a document (class: beamer) a hyperlink via URL which launches a program? Thanks Rainer I can think of one way, but I don't know whether it generalizes beyond Windows (I suspect it works on Macs, not sure on Linux). Suppose that you have a data file whose extension is associated (either in the OS or within your default web browser) with a particular application. If you use file://path/to/target/myfile.ext in the hyperlink, clicking the hyperlink in the PDF file launches the web browser, which then asks you whether you want to open the target file or save it. You pick open and the application launches and opens the file. If you want to launch an application without a target file, you can try the following. First, associate in Windows some extension with a shell processor. For instance, I have .sh associated with MinSYS sh.exe (which emulates sh on a *nix system). To launch app.exe from a Beamer presentation, I first write a script (app.sh) that launches app.exe. (The script will likely need an absolute path to app.exe, since at least with Firefox it will be launched from whatever Firefox thinks is your default download directory.) In the Beamer presentation, I use file://path/app.sh. When I click the link, Beamer invokes Firefox to process the link, Firefox asks me what do with the link (default being to run it under sh, since that's the association in Windows), I select the default, Firefox runs sh, which runs app.sh, which runs app.exe. Note that this is not particularly transportable. HTH, /Paul

HTML export, hyperlink doesn't work in LYX 1.4.3
Hi,
I have compiled LYX 1.4.3 on a redhat Linux machine from source, and have
deleted my previous $home/.lyx directory so it should be like a fresh
installation. The problem is I found that when having inserted some URLs by
Insert->URL..., then View->HTML or export to HTML, the URL never got an
underline, nor is it clickable.
And I found checking the box "Generate hyperlink" when inserting URL has no
effect on the result. No matter I did it or not, the output Latex file
doesn't change, it always produces a \url{my inserted url string}.
I found an ugly fix that first write \usepackage{html} in document preamble,
and then insert a Latex code box(ERT), writing in it \htmlurl{my url}{desc.
for the link} will produce a clickable hyperlink. However it's so ugly and
it looks like that it should be the intended behavior Insert->URL... should
produce.
Is this a common problem, so a bug in 1.4.3? Or is my setting wrong?
Thanks!

Re: citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
Have you tried adding \sloppy to your preamble ? This will make latex break the line before long "words". Yes, I did try that but sloppy only justifies words on a line, and it still treats the long citation as a compound word. So although, it does alleviate the problem, it doesn't completely solve it - I'm hoping that there's some way of breaking this compound word... Thanks for the suggestion.. nirmal

hyperlink question
Hi, all,
I'm new to LyX and found the hyperlink function fascinating
but puzzling. I've read through the archive but didn't find the
answer I need. Here is my problem:
I try to put in my pdf notes (generated by LyX) some hyperlinks
to other pdf papers in the same directory. So I just use the
hyperref package and then use the Insert->URL function. I put, e.g.,
file://file.pdf in URL and filename in NAME
but after clicking export->pdf(pdflatex), the following happen:
1. both "filename" and "file://file.pdf" is shown in my pdf file,
and only the latter is made a hyperlink. Checking the "HTML type"
box didn't change anything.
2. when I click the link, it doesn't work, said the file couldn't
be found. So the pdf hyperlink won't work with relative path?
that would be very disappointing!
3. I changed the path to the absolute one,i.e.,
file:///home/blah/blah/file.pdf,
the link worked on that particular machine. But when I access
my file remotely ( invoking acroread via ssh ), the link again
wouldn't work. :-(
I would be very grateful if any one can enlighten me on these questions!
Best,
Xinwei Yu

Re: hyperlink question
Thanks for you quick answer! But the problem persists after I tried as you said. :-( Maybe I've done something wrong... Here is what I did: I use acroread to view my pdf files, and I set the "weblink" opener to be konqueror in acroread. I set the link to be "file:file.pdf" but it still doesn't work, the browser is looking for things like www.file:file.pdf. After reading RFC 1808, I guess the problem is that no base URL has been set, thus the browser set it to / and then couldn't find the file. But I can't figure out how to do it with a pdf file generated by pdf latex. :-( I tried setting the weblink opener to be lynx but it still doesn't work. According to lynx help, I think it's treating the file name as a ftp web address. :-( I created a test.html and tried typing "lynx file:test.html" in the command line and it didn't work either. :-( The best I can get now is that I can use "~" to represent my home directory in konqueror and thus at least the links are immune from changes the system administrator may make in the future. Did I miss any point in my above operations? Or I have to stay with the rather unsatisfactory partial solution? I'll be very grateful if you can shed light on me again! Thanks a lot!

So, you were running actually file://localhost/home/blah/blah/file.pdf, which is not what you want (or is it?).

\addcontentsline in komascript-article with hyperref does not create proper hyperlink.
Hi:
I am using komascript-article class with hyperref package in LyX Version
1.1.6fix4 on Linux Mandrake 8.1. In my article, I have added contents line
given below:
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Sub-section Title}
This command is adding the line 'Sub-section Title' to the table of contents.
But, when I create the pdf file from LyX using Export --> PDF, there is no
hyperlink from this contents line to the correct location. Instead, it is
always linking to the last numbered section.
If I use addsec, this problem is not seen.
This problem is not seen if I use article class instead of komascript-article
class.
Can anybody explain how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Ananda Murthy R S
