Hi Thomas,

The manual is silent about what happens to external links on export

something that
disables the links on their way to pdf?

Internal links always worked for me in PDF, though they more
tend(ed) to go
to the page rather than really placing me on the section (like what
you have
in your browser).

Questions:

- Which PDF reader do you use?  That could influence...

- Do you want me to test some example file?  If yes, send it here, or
privately to me -- attention for delays due to spammotel, though.

Thanks Seb,

It doesn't appear to be a reader problem.  The links fail in skim and
acrobat.

I'm getting this in the LaTeX output:
\href{sec-2_5}{package loading part}

If I read the hyperref documentation correctly, then I think it should
be:
\hyperref[sec-2_5]{package loading part}

If I'm right about what the link should look like in LaTeX, and there
is no obvious reason why I'm not getting it in the LaTeX export, then
I'll work on finding a minimal example.


Play with this (for now).

This is a regression. release-7.01h is good. HEAD is bad. I get the
following line with release-7.01h.

Aloha Jambunathan K.,

Very many thanks for this information.  I have Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01h.880.g7531f).  I take it the problem I'm having is due to a relatively recent change to Org-mode.  If there is anything I can do to help isolate the problem, please let me know.

All the best,
Tom
