CTAN package update: doi
by CTAN Announcements 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: doi Author's name: Maarten Sneep Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/doi Summary description: Create correct hyperlinks for DOI numbers. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can hyperlink DOI numbers to dx.doi.org. However, some publishers have elected to use nasty characters in their DOI numbering scheme (‘<’, ‘>’, ‘_’ and ‘;’ have all been spotted). This will either upset (La)TeX, or your PDF reader. This package contains a single user-level command doi{}, which takes a DOI number, and creates a correct hyperlink from it. This is an update to the doi package. The underscore was missing from the list of characters that could mess things up. Michael Orlov sent in a patch to fix this (thanks!). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/doi .
