General ⇒ Convert hyperref url to lowercase

[wimalopaan]

Hi,

how can I convert an url to all lowercase for use in the \href-command?

I would like to have a command, e.g.

\newcommand{\class}[1]{\href{http://xyz/docbase/#1.html}{#1}}

to write

\class{MyClass}

resulting in an url

http://xyz/docbase/myclass.html

inside the \href-command.

I tried \lowercase and \MakeLowercase, but with no success.

thx for your help.

A minimal working example (← that's a link) that shows the problem may help. I can't figure out why \lowercase shouldn't work.

Best regards and welcome to the board

Here is the minimum-example:

-->
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\newcommand{\qclass}[1]{\href{http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/\lowercase ... ml}{\tt{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\qclass{QObject}
\end{document}
<--

The resulting URL should be

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qobject.html

but you get

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/\lowercase{QObject}.html

in the pdf-file.
