+Package: aeb_mlink
+Author: D. P. Story
+Dated: 2018/08/18
+
+The aeb_mlink package defines new link commands to create multi-line links.
+The new commands are \mlhypertext, \mlhyperlink, \mlhyperref, \mlnameref,
+\mlNameref, \mlhref, and \mlurl.
+
+PDF Creators: Adobe Distiller or ps2pdf
+
+What's New (2018/08/18): Created \turnSyllbCntOn (\turnSyllbCntOff) to turn
+on (resp., off) the viewing of syllable numbers. Reorganize core program to
+accommodate the use of \mlhypertext command within the program code of
+annot_pro. (This is to implement text markup annotations in that package.)
+
+What's New (2018/04/26): Included a 'dummy' package named aeb-mlink. The
+aeb_mlink package is listed on CTAN as aeb-mlink, though there is no such
+package by that name. Well, now there is.
+
+What's New (2018/04/20): Previously, the links created by aeb_mlink consisted
+of a series of rectangles around each of the syllables of the hypertext or
+url; the little rectangles responded in unison when any one of them were
+clicked. In this version, Postscript procedures are used to combine the
+little rectangles into one rectangle per line of hypertext. Also the Rect
+entry has been changed to be the smallest rectange that encloses the
+hypertext (or url). The Postscript tries to detect problems with the links,
+and reports to the log (distiller or ps2pdf log). The PDF Specification does
+not support cross-page links, to resolve this issued, a method of 'cracking'
+a link apart, breaking it into two links. The second link is free to move to
+the next page.
+
+This package requires the latest version of AeB, in particular, the eforms
+package required is dated 2018/03/22 or later. See ctan.org/pkg/acrotex.
+
+In addition to the demo files distributed with the package, there are two new
+demo files available from the AcroTeX Blog webiste:
+
+ aeb_mlink: Fixing multi-line link boxes
+ (http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1377)
+
+ aeb_mlink: Crossing page boundaries with multi-line links
+ (http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1383)
+
+Let me know if there are problems or suggested features. e-mail
+me at dpstory@uakron.edu or dpstory@acrotex.net
+
+My other web site is http://blog.acrotex.net/ has the latest on my
+ruminations on LaTeX and PDF.
+
+Now, I simply must get back to my retirement.
