Hyperlink to a URL

[BaronBonet]

I would like to add a text with a hyperlink to my document being generated via pyLaTeX. In LaTeX this would be performed by using:

\href{http://www.sharelatex.com}{Something Linky}

I have found the labelref documentation containing the Marker object as well as the Hyperref Object but i cannot seem to get it working.

from pylatex import Document, Hyperref

doc = Document()
doc.append("Example text a link should go ")
# i was hoping the hyperlink would work like i'm showing below
doc.append(Hyperref("https://jeltef.github.io/PyLaTeX", "here"))
doc.generate_pdf("Example_document", clean_tex=True)

Running the following code produces the a pdf document without errors. image of the document produced

While what i would expect is that the word "here" is a hyperlink and shown in blue.

Is this possible?

I do not believe that is supported, see here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57059457/python-pylatex-hyperlink-to-a-url

I added a complete example at the above StackOverflow.

This is the method that I used to support it. First, define a hyperlink class:

def hyperlink(url,text):
    text = escape_latex(text)
    return NoEscape(r'\href{' + url + '}{' + text + '}')

Then I just do this:

document.append(hyperlink("http://www.jeffheaton.com", "My Site"))
