hyperref problems: \url and \footnote
Gabriel Zachmann
I'm having two problems with hyperref vers 6.70f:
(teTexX=1.0 with new hyperref)
1.
\href{url}{text} inside a \footnote{} doesn't work.
The problem is caused by a # in url.
See below for an example.
The error message I get is
! Illegal parameter number in definition of \Hy@tempa.
<to be read again>
b
l.13 }
And this is the same with pdflatex and latex.
2.
If the URL inside a \url contains a #,
then this # gets rendered pretty funnily.
Again see below for an example.
Problem 1 is a real problem, problem 2 is just a bit annoying.
Any ideas what I could do?
Gab.

You have to protect # by \#, if you use \href
inside the argument of another command.

I cannot see neither a problem with # nor an example.

Thanks a lot.
(That's not in the doc, is it?
IIRC, it says in the doc specifically, that you don't need to escape
# in the URL-part of href ...)

well, same trick applies here: one has to escape the #.
As for the example, see my second post; I'm sorry, I forgot to include it
with my first post. For your convenience, I'll include it (really) with
this post - see below.
Now I wish \href would automatically insert line breaks in href's like
just like \url as of Donald Arseneau's url.sty did.
Do I really have to insert them manually?
Cheers,
Gab.

Please use the normal quote character '>', not a funny
one ']'. It takes more time for reading. Because I do not
have to much time, I will ignore such postings.

#, %, ... are special characters in TeX. \footnote does not
know about the special treatment of these characters, if
a \href is used inside. For example each LaTeX documentation
will about the use of \verb inside arguments of other
commands.

ok, just for you; ;-)
although I don't have much time either, and I spent already way too much
time on getting this latex file typeset into pdf ...

cool.
wouldn't it make sense to put that in hyperref.sty?
like
\def\url@#1{\hyper@linkurl{\Hurl{#1}}{\nolinkurl{#1}}}
