Package: aeb_mlink
Author: D. P. Story
Dated: 2020-01-06
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 (2020-01-06) This package reads web.cfg (web package,
if available). The web.cfg has changed format slightly, this
update now conforms to that format. Defined new option urlOpts to
pass options to the url package.
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.
