Subject: Possible buglet in latex export
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:51:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A88D3D0.3000509@sift.info> (raw)
When I do a latex export, a simple URL in text, or a simple link url of
the form [[URL]] --- with no description --- gets emitted as
\href{URL}{URL}
which causes Latex to crash for me.
I believe that this is because it won't accept a URL as the second
argument to href.
Changing the \href command to \url fixes the latex problem.
So I wonder if we need to catch this special case of a description-less
URL and treat it specially in latex export for the benefit of latex's
hyperref package.
I'm not an expert on hyperref, by any means, nor do I know the innards
of latex export, so I could be missing something here. However the
description of \url in the hyperref manual says the following:
\url{URL}
Similar to \href{URL}{\nolinkurl{URL}}
...which suggests to me that using the URL without some kind of magical
protection (provided by \nolinkurl) may lead to bad things.
best,
r
