 Package: aeb_mlink 
 Author: D. P. Story

 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.

+What's New (2020-07-12): An aeb_mlink document can now be compiled with 
+pdflatex, lualatex, or xelatex. In this case, no links are created and

+can use their favorite PDF creator and view the document in their favorite
