Document Classes ⇒ hyperref, memoir | No Hyperlinks in ToC

[drmCA]

I cannot get hyperref to work in memoir class despite following memoir manual and loading \usepackage{memhfixc} (although I did not have to as my LaTeX is the latest). The class guide is very confusing in itself.

Another issue is that commands such as \posttitle{abc...} do not seem to work, but first I need to get my hyperlinks back. What am I doing wrong?

[…] What am I doing wrong?

A proper minimal example for sure will show.

I do not see a need for a minimal example, as the only difference is document class. Switching from book to memoir removes hyperrefs. Not sure what could be not clear about that. Flip to memoir - no hyperref. Flip to book - hyperrefs appear. Please explain.

I minimal example is needed very well, better said essential. I don't have any problems with this.

Code: Select all

% TeX program = pfdplatex
\documentclass[11pt,english]{memoir}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents*

  \blinddocument
\end{document}

Well then? Now its your turn to explain.

Ok, I am attaching the example and the pdf that it renders into.
Flipping the comments on document class re-activates hyperrefs.

There you see why the MWE was needed! You're using memoir with the draft mode. It seems memoir's draft mode disables hyperref (although I didn't know that before...). Simply remove it and all hyperlinks will show.

Thank you, works like a charm. Obscure option indeed.

The draft mode disables hyper links in general, not only with memoir.

Which actually makes much more sense

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Packages inherit options from the document class options. So if you specify draft mode for memoir, it's also used for graphicx (disabling loading images) and for hyperref (disabling hyperlinks). You can specify options for packages when loading them, or override class options, such as by \hypersetup{final}.

Just don't use options which you don't know yet, to avoid undesired surprises.
