Hi all,

I'm using lyx 1.1.6f4, trying to create a simple document which will be
exported to html, and I'm havig a problem with urls. If I choose Insert->URL
and say type:

URL-> http://mysite.com/
Name -> Click here

the generated Lyx code looks like

\begin_inset LatexCommand
my\htmlurl[Click here]{http://mysite.com}

So far so good. The problem is that once lyx exports to latex (so I can run
latex2html on it) this becomes

Click here \url{http://mysite.com/}

As you can see, the information about 'Click here' being the name of the url
is gone in the latex, and there's then no way that latex2html will construct a
properly formed url like:

<a href="http://mysite.com/";>click here</a>

which is what we want (or I guess what the Insert->URL led me to expect, and
which would make Lyx a great HTML editor for simple documents where you don't
need fancy layout).

Any solutions to this using Lyx only? I know I can just pop in all the urls
with ERT, but I'd prefer to use a Lyx-ish solution if there is one, and the
url insert seems to do 99% of the job.

Cheers,

f.
