Help with hyperref

Post by heuristicist »

Hey all, I'm a bit of a LaTeX newbie. I've spent some time trying to figure out what's causing these issues but haven't come up with anything. I'd appreciate some help from some LaTeX experts!

My first issue is that when I add the hyperref package, it adds some text to the beginning of each of the entries in my bibliography. You can see for yourself by checking the files at http://clear.colorado.edu/NAACLHLT2009/stylefiles.html; if you add the hyperref package to the tex file, it will mess with the bibliography in unwanted ways. I have no idea how to fix this.

My second issue is that hyperref likes to add links to any text it thinks should be a link. Since the paper I'm writing has two authors, we give our email addresses as {user1,user2}@domain.com and hyperref adds a link to the @domain.com part, which is useless. Is there any way I can tell hyperref not to do so?

TIA!

The problem is that the hyperref package is redefining things like the cite command to produce hypertext. The package you're using redefines these itself, so try including it after the hyperref package. Technically this means your hyperreffed (is that a word?) citations won't work, but at least your document will look how your conference wants them.

I'm not able to reproduce the e-mail address functionality of which you speak. Hyperref only puts in links if you use the \url{} command, as far as I can tell.

A word of caution: conferences and journals often have their own ideas about whether hyperlinks should exist or not. You might leave it up to them as to whether to put hyperlinks in.

Good luck!
