Text Formatting ⇒ Percent Sign as a String Character

[StevoSn]

Hey,

I wanted to use a hyper link in my document that contains a percentage sign. I included the hyperref package and then tried this.

Code: Select all

1
\href{url://to.some_stupid%C3%BC_named.file}{some text}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

But that doesn't work. Is there a way to define a fixed string in LaTeX?


Cheers!

The hyperref manual (Section 4 — Additional user macros, p. 12ff) suggests to use the \nolinkurl command just to format the URL as text. Then an according combination should do the trick.

Code: Select all

\href{\nolinkurl{http://domain.org/expression%20with%20blank%20spaces}}{The link Text}

Untested due to a missing minimal example.

Sorry,
it seems to work without any \nolinkurl...

the problem seems to only occur when I use the \href{}{} command inside a \caption environment, such as:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\leavevmode
\fbox{
\includegraphics[width=0.95\textwidth]{./figs/oxygen} }

\caption{

here I had to put a back-slash in front of the % sign.

You can also use the escape character \ (backslash):

Code: Select all
