1 INTRODUCTION
==============

This LaTeX package provides the command \hrefdisplayonly (additionally to
\href of the hyperref package). While the (hyperlinked) text appears like an
ordinary \href in the compiled pdf-file, the same text will be "hidden" when
printing the text. It is not really invisible, but just has the same color as the
background (default: white). Therefore the layout is not changed when printing
the document.

Further the commands \hycon and \hycoff (hyper-colour-on/off) can be used
to simulate switching option ocgcolorlinks of the hyperref package on and off.
This package is possibly obsolete, see section 3: "Alternatives"
in the documentation.

2 DOWNLOAD
==========

"hrefhide" is available on CTAN:
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pagecolor

Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files:
the manual (hrefhide.pdf), the example (hrefhide-example.tex),
the compiled example (hrefhide-example.pdf),
driver (hrefhide.drv), hrefhide.dtx,
installation file (hrefhide.ins),
the style file (hrefhide.sty),
and this README, already sorted in a TDS tree:
https://mirror.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/pagecolor.tds.zip


3 INSTALLATION
==============

Installation with ZIP file in TDS format
----------------------------------------
The ZIP file "hrefhide.tds.zip" contains the files
sorted in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the
ZIP file inside a TDS tree.
See https://www.ctan.org/TDS-guidelines for an explanation
of TDS.
Example:
  cd /...somewhere.../texmf
  unzip /...downloadpath.../hrefhide.tds.zip
Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this
TDS tree.
Example:
  texhash /...somewhere.../texmf

Manual installation
-------------------
a) Download the hrefhide files from CTAN.
   If necessary, unpack them.
b) Generate the package and driver files:
     tex hrefhide.dtx
c) Install the file "*.sty" in your TDS tree:
     cp hrefhide.sty TDS:tex/latex/hrefhide/
   Replace "TDS:" by the prefix of your TDS tree
   (texmf directory).
d) Create the documentation, if necessary, e.g.
     pdflatex hrefhide.dtx
     makeindex -s gind.ist hrefhide.idx
     pdflatex hrefhide.dtx
     makeindex -s gind.ist hrefhide.idx
     pdflatex hrefhide.dtx
e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for TeXLive
     texhash or mktexlsr.
f) Create the hrefhide-example.pdf, if necessary, e.g.
     pdflatex hrefhide-example.tex
     pdflatex hrefhide-example.tex
     pdflatex hrefhide-example.tex
g) Copy the documentation files to
   "TDS:doc/latex/hrefhide/":
   README, hrefhide.pdf, hrefhide-example.tex,
   hrefhide-example.pdf.


4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES
=====================

hrefhide loads other packages:
- xcolor
- hyperref
- kvoptions
which again load other packages
(see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file
 of the example).


5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY
=======================

hrefhide must be loaded AFTER package hyperref:

  Package loading order:

  \usepackage[ocgcolorlinks]{hyperref}
  \usepackage{hrefhide}

7 BUG REPORTS
=============

A bug report should contain:
* Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or
  warning messages.
* \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the
  TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages.
* Minimal test file that shows the problem,
  but does not contain any unnecessary packages and code.
* Used drivers/programs.
* Version information about used packages and programs.
* If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles" to the document.
  Then a list of version information is printed at the end
  of the LaTeX run.
* Please no other files than the minimal test file.
  The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom
  necessary, so send them only on request.
* Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them!

8 KNOWN PROBLEMS
================

* as yet: none... - Well, of course there are all issues
  of the hyperref package with ocgcolorlinks option,
  e.g. no linebreaks inside links.
