P. Story -Dated: 2016/02/16 -Version: v2.0 +Package: aeb_mlink +Author: D. P. Story +Dated: 2018/04/26 -The aeb_mlink package implements new links capable of created multi-line -links. The new commands are \mlhypertext, \mlhyperlink, \mlhyperref, -\mlnameref, \mlNameref, \mlhref, and \mlurl. All but the first are multi-line -versions of hyperref commands with the same root name. +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 new in version 2.0, added the \mlurl command. +PDF Creators: Adobe Distiller or ps2pdf -Restriction: This package requires that the PDF be created by Adobe -Distiller, version 7.0 or later to create multi-line links, and requires -Adobe Reader 7.0 or later for the links to work correctly. +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. -This package requires the latest version of AeB, in particular, the -eforms package required is dated 2008/03/14 or later. See -ctan.org/pkg/acrotex or -www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/webeq.html to retrieve acrotex.zip. +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. -Installation Instructions: Place the zip file in your latex search -path and unzip. Refresh your file name database, and you are ready -to go.
