changing \href to \myhref in LaTex export

changing \href to \myhref in LaTex export

["Martin G. Skjæveland"]

Hi,

is it possible to change how hyperlinks are exported to LaTex without 
going into to org-latex.el, but setting by a variable or similar in my 
.emacs file?

I would like to export hyperlinks in Latex as \myhref (or something 
else) instead of \href, so that I can redefine \myhref using \href, like 
this

    \usepackage{ifthen}
    \newcommand{\myhref}[2]{
      \ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{#2}}
        {\href{#1}{#2}}
        {\href{#1}{#2}\footnote{\url{#1}}}
      }

and thus include the URLs of the links as footnotes.

(I thought I could set this with a parameter of the hyperref package in 
LaTex, but I have not found a way.)

Thanks!
Martin

Not answering clearly your question, but an alternative (that works) is to
redefine \href either in your private class (if you use one) or in your TeX
file.

In the latter case, put the `renewcommand' in your Org source, so that it gets
exported every time.

Example (with a `newcommand' here):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newcommand{\figtext}[2]{\begin{tikzpicture} \draw (-#1/2,-#1/2) rectangle (#1/2,#1/2); \node[text width=#1] at (0,0) {\color{blue}\scriptsize{#2}}; \end{tikzpicture}}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think, for this case, this offers more flexibility and allows you to get
what you want.

Best regards,
  Seb

Hi Seb,

yes, this looks like the flexibility I'm after, but my problem with your 
solution is that by using \renewcommand I would be defining a recursive 
command, which does not work. (I should have mentioned that in my first 
email, sorry.) This is the reason for renaming the \href command in the 
export, so I can define my own href command using the standard href.

The reason I want to do this in the first place is to make URLs 
available when the latex pdf is printed.

Hi Martin,

OK, please pull and then use the variable `org-export-latex-hyperref- 
format'.

Hi Carsten,

setting

   (setq org-export-latex-hyperref-format "\\myhref{%s}{%s}")

works like a charm. Thanks!

Nope!  You can do that by simply renaming the old version first.

In your case:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\let\orig@href=\href
\renewcommand\href[2]{%
  \ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{#2}}
      {\orig@href{#1}{#2}}
    {\orig@href{#1}{#2}\footnote{\url{#1}}}
}% href

\href{http://www.mygooglest.com/}{Test}
\href{http://www.mygooglest.com/}{http://www.mygooglest.com/}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That makes sense. I'll reuse your idea!

Cool, I did not know this.

Thanks, what works perfect!

Initially, it did not work, but moving the above code directly below

   \usepackage{hyperref}

solved my problems.
