Hyperref color links

[Alberto Escrig Vidal]

When this option is selected, LyX automatically adds:



\usepackage{color}



before babel is loaded.



If a multilingual Italian/Spanish document is involved (Spanish being
the main language), this causes the document to fail to compile (with an
updated MiKTeX distribution), such as the following minimal example:



\documentclass[italian,spanish]{book}



\usepackage{color}

\usepackage{babel}

\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}



\begin{document}

foo

\end{document}



The problem is easily solved in LaTeX by loading color after babel is
loaded. In LyX there is also a workaround: providing colorlinks=true as
an additional hyperref option, which is not very elegant, because the
LaTeX translate will look like:



\usepackage[colorlinks=false,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}



Is it possible to influence LyX to load color after babel being loaded?

Hi Alberto,

I don't know much about this, but you might be able to do something like

Provides color

in local layout.

See Help > Customization for more information.

Please let the list know if you try it and it works.

Best,

Scott

It Works!

Thanks so much Scott
