Re: Simple beginner questions
Thanks!
I'll do as you suggest: play around with your tipes then look at the
hyperref's doc if I'm not satisfied.

You don't mention what driver you're using (that is, what kind of
document you're producing, and what program is producing it), and
hyperref does have some driver-dependent behavior. However, the
following works for me with pdflatex:
- You can tell hyperref to leave existing LaTeX commands alone and only
create its own macros, such as \url and \href. Do this by setting the
"implicit=false" option when you include hyperref in the preamble:
\usepackage[implicit=false]{hyperref}
If you do this, and create your links using LyX's Insert->URL...
command, then you'll get what you asked for: only those URLs will be
converted to links.
- Sometimes it's more useful to let hyperref turn everything into links,
but without changing the text's appearance. That lets readers navigate
by links without the visual distractions. For that, you can use these
hyperref options:
colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black,urlcolor=black
(I got this from someone else's message to the list - thanks, whoever
that was.) You may want to play around with these a bit to get exactly
the effect you want.
- Your LaTeX installation ought to include the hyperref documentation,
which describes all this handy stuff. In my MiTeX installation, it's in
texmf/doc/latex/hyperref/ - start with manual.html. (If you're not sure
where to find it, search your disk for hyperref.) LaTeX typically comes
with tons of package documentation and other useful tidbits, but it's a
bit disorganized.

Have a look at the hyperref documentations, those things are configurable. An
alternative way is to use the tex2pdf script, which aims to ease such
configuration for the user:

Re: Simple beginner questions
Thanks Juergen,
Everything works fine now!
Any idea on the hyperref/links topic?

The place is correct, but it's spelled "abstracton".

- Put "\selectlanguage{english}" and "\selectlanguage{french}" before
each of the abstracts.
You don't need that. Just mark the abstract and select the appropriate
language in the "Text Style" dialog.

Previewing the dvi doesn't show abstract titles yet...
Any idea on what's wrong here?

Re: Simple beginner questions
Thanks a lot for your quick answer Juergen!
What I did is:
- Put "abstraction" in "Document"->"Class"->"Class options" (I don't
appear to have "Extra options" in my pref dialogue...)
- Put "\usepackage[english]{babel}" in LaTeX preamble
- Put "\selectlanguage{english}" and "\selectlanguage{french}" before
each of the abstracts.

Your solution looks o.k. to me.

display "Abstract" and "Résumé" before the contained text.
You have to use the class option "abstracton" (in Document->Class
Options->Extra Options").
The correct heading should appear in the output if you mark the language of
the abstracts accordingly.

Simple beginner questions
Hi everyone,
I'm using the class "report (koma script)" for a paper. I manage to get
good results with it but a few questions remain:
- I found a way to include 2 abstracts by inserting a dummy LaTeX
comment (%) in Standard style between the two, is there a smarter way to
do that? The reason I want 2 abstracts is because I have to write one in
French and one in English.
- Is there a way to make the abstract show a title? I'd like mine to
display "Abstract" and "Résumé" before the contained text.
- I inserted the "usepackage{hypreref}" in the preamble for my LyX links
to actually link to web pages (as suggested on the LyX wiki) but the
problem is that EVERY cross-reference, footnote and even TOC entries
become links, which makes the whole document look kinda ugly. Is there a
way to avoid that behavior and make only \href{http://...}{Weebsite
link} actual links?
Sorry if this is already answered somewhere else, does someone know?
Thanks,
Jé
