After a fashion.
I do not use CSS but I embed a header in the title page of each
document. In the preamble add
\usepackage{html}
\usepackage{url}
Then I put something like (single paragraph labeled as LaTex):
\begin{rawhtml}
centera href='/index.html'
img src='/icons/noc-logo.png'/a
/center
hr
\end{rawhtml}
This doed not show in the printed output.
Inline links can be added as (inlined TeX):
\htmladdnormallink{Link Text}{http://URL}
Only Link Text appears in the printed output.
If you use:
\htmladdnormallinkfoot{Link Text}{http://URL}
http://URL; will be added as a footnote to Link Text

-
- \htmladdnormallink{Name}{http://www.url.com}
- In the DVI, only Name will appear.
- Another option is to use \htmladdnormallink{Name}{http://www.url.com}
- The difference is that with the latter, the DVI will contain Name, and then
- the URL will appear as footnote.
This still means labelling the entire paragraph as Latex but I can
live with that. Thanks to everyone who answered.

- You don't need to change the entire paragraph to latex mode,
- only the \htmladdnormallink{}{} command.
Oh. I see what you mean. I didnlt realize that LyX let me set
selected text to latex mode. Thanks again.

Re: Won't let me change paper margins
You need to add a unit to the value. For example 1in or 25mm or whatever. Also check Use Geometry Package. On Fri, 4 May 2001, Robert Baruch wrote: - Please help...

Re: Problem appending column to a table
I just tested this on the same file on my home machine -- also Redhat 7.0 -- and the append worked fine! The only difference I can see is LyX at work was from an RPM and at home I built it the 'old fashioned' way. I'll try building from the tarball at work and see if that fixes the problem.

Preformatted text in Lyx
I ma trying to create documentation for my Solaris and Linux boxes
using LyX. For the most part, the combination of LyX and latex2html
is working fine except for one tiny problem.
I need scripts and config files to have indents like:
start() {
# Create keys if necessary
do_rsa1_keygen
do_rsa_keygen
do_dsa_keygen
echo "Starting $prog:"
$SSHD
RETVAL=$?
echo
}
But everything appears right justified even if I use the typewriter
font and the ctrl-space key to insert leading spaces. Is there a fix
for this?
I am using lyx 1.1.6fix1 on Redhat 7.0

Re: Preformatted text in Lyx
OK, answered my own question. I can use Verbatim Input and keep the
preformatted text in a separate file. At least this works with DVI.
I'll have to see later if it produces acceptable html.

URL's in Latex - HTML
I am creating some documentation using the Article layout that needs to be
exported in both HTML and PDF format.
A typical Makefile entry looks like:
solaris-security: solaris-security.lyx
lyx --export latex solaris-security.lyx
latex2html -split 4 -show_section_numbers solaris-security.tex
cd solaris-security;pdflatex ../solaris-security.tex
This produces OK PDF but the embedded URL's in both the HTML and PDF
appear as:
www.insecure.org http://www.insecure.org/
It doesn't matter whether I select 'HTML Type' or not.
I tried switching to the LinuxDOC layout which fixed the URL problem in
the HTML but left the '#' in comment lines in sample scripts as
{[num ]}

Re: Specifying explicit point sizes
On Tue, 13 Feb 2001, A. L. Meyers wrote: - Dear fellow LyXers, - - Part of the beauty and new paradigm (WYSIWYM) of LyX is precisely that it - does not bother the user with exact type sizes etc. Just went through - reformatting a cv using LyX. In 15 minutes I had a beautifully formatted cv - using the class "article" without setting a single font size. I started using lyx with version 0.10 or so while in college (second time around). Once I got used to the 'new' way of doing things I found it was _much_ faster to create good looking papers with Lyx than with Word or Wordperfect precisely because I never had to worry about font sizes or paragraph spacing or such. You have no idea how valuable it is to a student to be able to type it in, spell check, a few clicks for formatting, and print it out. Saved me hours of time I could use for studying. Sometimes even left me time for the wife and kids. Sometimes the formatting for preview took a while using Linux running on a 486, but is was easy to break really long papers into smaller chunks I could check fairly quickly. Now that I am in the 'real' world, I still use Lyx when I can. I used to maintain internal Network documentation with it and latex2html. After I left, the new maintainer switched to Dreamweaver and gripes constantly about how he never has time to keep up. - However, I understand that someone might want to set a specific font size. True, it may be necessary but for someone who, like me, just wants to produce output, it is no big deal. Lyx is a fabulous tool. -- --Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt == Government is like burning witches: After years of burning young women failed to solve any of society's problems, the solution was to burn more young women. ==

Upgraded to 1.1.6
Which fixed the problem with tables. The lyx developers have been _busy_. There is a bunch of nifty new features added between 1.1.5 and 1.1.6.
