Document Classes ⇒ elsarticle | Problem with 'hyperref' Package

[dungchu]

Hi all.

I am using the document class elsarticle (standard class for elsevier journals). It works very smoothly until I include the hyperref package, which gives the following error:
! Argument of \x has an extra }.
<inserted text>
\par
...\@latex@\@nil{author}

I tried to make a clean compile (without any auxiliary files), but it still gave the error.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any suggestion will be very much appreciated.

Hi dungchu,

welcome to the board!

elsarticle works with hyperref. This small document can be compiled without error:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{elsarticle}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
text
\end{document}

So the problem is somewhere hidden in your code, perhaps in your preamble. You could post at least your preamble or, even better, a minimal example (like I did) created from your code which produces that error. Once we can produce the error, we can fix it.

hi Stefan.

Thanks a lot for your post. It helped me to figure out that the problem is that I am using TeXLive. When I switch to MikTeX, it works perfectly.

Lots of appreciation.
