Use LyX to export your file to yourfile.tex Then run from the command line, "htlatex yourfile.tex" This does a good job but you still have to proofread. A manual exists that describes tweaking options. Regards, Steogeb

[discussion about the translation of \url{foo} by latex2HTML]
If you want a clean translations of URLS by latex2HTML, you should
use the specific html.sty commands like \htmladdnormallink{foo}{bar}
which allows to give a different name to the anchor and to the url.
As the URL inset offers the two fields, it is easy to write a small
perl script to filter the lyx file in view of the html translation.
Perhaps the type HTML button (which does not make any difference
in tha layout as far I checked) could be used to autmatically
insert the required \usepackage{html} u=in the preamble
and to replace the \url command by \htmladdnormalllink ?
A last improvement would be to insert a second button to
use \htmladdnormallinkfoot which puts the URL as a footnote referred to
by the anchor, which is a good layout when there are few URLs
in a page.
It may seem boring to insert such latex2html specific syntax in LyX,
so a postfiltering solution may be better, but something is needed anyway.

LaTeX2html (using LaTeX) parses the code perfectly. The problem is that LyX is inserting a line to redefine the tag "\url" so that it is just plain text, rather than a link that url.sty would rather default to. I will admit I am far from being a LaTeX expert, but I'm pretty sure I'm correct in my interpretation of the LaTeX commands as they are implemented here. Tell me if I'm wrong though, after reading my pseudo code interpretation... if (url.sty exists) then use the package url rename tag(\url) to tag(\texttt) where I assume "\texttt" is some sort of verbatim-like tag, like in html. -EJR

Note also that this whole problem is not due to a bug in LyX, but to a
bug in latex2html, so it really teh latex2html guys that you should
complain to.

Umm, I'm not sure if the original message got mangled. If I understand
what you're suggesting, I did try commenting out the line
"{\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}}"
and latex2html did exactly what I wanted...which was to create the html
file(s), AND create links where I wanted them explicitly.
Also, is tth capable of converting images? I imagine not, but I am
uncertain. Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply, and I'll look forward
to a future "fix".

Which is perfectly fine for latex, ... but for a tool that is not able

So how should we solve this?
If we _require_ url.sty to be present we can just use
\usepackage{url}, but if we don't require it...hmm
can you try this:
\IfFileExists{url.sty}{%
\usepackage{url}%
}{%
\newcommand{url}{\texttt}%
}
and see if that makes a difference for latex2html?

No, and to have that would be a "hackish" solution, but I think we
eventually will be able to create a fix for this problem.
