+You can hyperlink DOI numbers to dx.doi.org. Some publishers have elected to
+use some nasty characters in their doi numbering scheme (<, >, ; have all
+been spotted). This will either upset (La)TeX, or your pdf reader. This style
+file contains a user-level command \doi{}, which takes a doi number,
+and creates a hyperlink from it. The format of the doi can be controlled by
+redefining the \doitext command, which does not take an argument (unlike the
+command with the same name in the doipubmed package).
+
+Note: the \doi{} command connot be used within other macros.
+
+This style file is based original code written by Heiko Oberdiek
+and published on comp.text.tex. It was packaged with permission
+as a style file by Maarten Sneep, with some minor changes suggested
+by Bruno Voisin to accomodate the Apple pdf framework
+Michael Orlov noticed that underscores were not handled appropriately
+and sends in a patch.
+Now supported by the "Oberdiek Package Support Group" at GitHub.
+
+This code is placed under the LPPL.
