Hi all, I finally did it with this advice from Wikipedia: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Packages/Hyperref The Wikipedia page isn't very LyX-friendly, because it makes you enter ERT for \href{}{} and \url{}. However, you can use the old LyX trick environment-as-command so that on the LyX GUI it looks like an environment, but in LaTeX it's a command. There was no need for docbook, LinuxDoc, or anything unusual besides hyperref. Thanks SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/
