LaTeX forum ⇒ LyX ⇒ how to create a simple layout

[anmo1]

Hi I am trying to create a local layout for a simple feature that is missing from the beamer layout: the ability to create button links as follows:

\beamergotobutton{url}{button text}

I have parsed a few layouts but I can't find out how to do it. I hate to insert tex boxes in my document.

Thanks in advance

Apologies, that was wrong. What I am trying to do is this:

\href{http://my.url.com}{\beamergotobutton{button text}}

Take a look at this email thread:

https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@ ... 78156.html

It apparently includes a patch that adds a "goto_button" and "goto_text". I don't remember if it works or what the potential problems are.

I would like to someday implement a native solution in LyX, but as you can see from that thread it is complicated.
