Document Classes ⇒ Hyperref Colorlinks

[renno]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to use the "colorlinks=true" option of "hyperref" with "pdftex"... I am getting the following error:

!Too many }'s.
\color@endbox->\color@endgroup\egroup

I looked through the "hyperref" manual and "readme" files, but could not find anything to solve this problem...

Your help is appreciated...

Thanks,

[localghost]

Please post a minimum working example (MWE) that reproduces the error and generate a list of the used files.

Code: Select all

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
…

Copy the list of files from the LOG file and post it here, too.

[renno]

Thanks for your help...

I have attached the requested file. I am using pdftex...

Thanks again...

The Log File is the following:

This is not what i expect to be a MWE. And your incomplete log file doesn't contain a file list generated by the \listfiles command, which should look like the following.

Code: Select all

 *File List*
…

Search that passage in your log file and post it separately. There can be found all used files with their version number and a short description.

[renno]

Thanks a million for your help. I apologize for the files, but I think the problem is in the style file I am using, as the hyperref produced colored links in other simple documents. The problem here is in the style file. The files list is below:

Your MWE produces 3 errors and 2 warnings when compiled with pdflatex and so it's not a MWE for me. You better try to get things work and present it another time.

Code: Select all

You've closed more groups than you opened.
Such booboos are generally harmless, so keep going.

Things are pretty mixed up, but I think the worst is over.

After a long search, i couldn't find out the cause for the problem. The critical code detected by the compiler seems to be correct. The main cause must be were else. So my efforts have to end here for the moment.

[renno]

Thank you for trying...

I cannot get an MWE except with using the style file I am using. I guess I will call off using colors for they hyperlinks, and keep the option "colorlinks=false"...

Thanks for your help, and I apologize for the trouble...

[localghost]

[…] I cannot get an MWE except with using the style file I am using. […]

Try to build a MWE with your class file. A MWE is not reduced to the standard classes. It only means that every code or package not needed for the reproduction of the error should be deleted or set as comment.

[calogero]

Seems you're using hyperref with natbib. Are you getting systematically urls for each bib entry in the References ? Actually myself I do. I just wanna get rid of, how could i do ?
Thanx

[karthik]

I have a feeling this is related to the redefinition of floats in the style used... since I am having a very similar problem.

Code: Select all

% Redefine the macro used for floats (including figures and tables)
% so that single spacing is used.
% (Note \def\figure{\@float{figure}set single spacing} doesn't work
%  because figure has an optional argument)
