Page Layout ⇒ Disable Hyperlinks to Footnotes in custom Class

[psicofrenia]

Hey,

I'm new to LaTeX and and trying to add hyperlinks to my ToC using the hyperref package. I noticed that the footnotes became linked, what is normal then I tried to disable it using hyperfootnotes=false but it has no effect.

I created a class file to hold all my definitions. I'm not sure if this is happening because of that. Does anybody have an idea why hyperfootnotes is not working? Please check the class code below.

Code: Select all

% Class definition
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesClass{manuscript}[2013/03/23 Creative writing manuscripts class]
%
%String comparation
\usepackage{etoolbox}
%
% Use conditionals
\usepackage{ifthen}
%
% Parent class: book
\LoadClass[a4paper,12pt,oneside]{book}

% Necessary packages
%
% Sets the document to be UTF8 and allows specials chars (accents) to be used
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
%
% Allows links inside document (only to toc)
\usepackage[linktocpage=true,hyperfootnotes=false]{hyperref}
%
% Change line size of TOC
\usepackage{tocloft}
\setlength\cftparskip{-2pt}
\setlength\cftbeforesecskip{1pt}
\setlength\cftaftertoctitleskip{2pt}
%
% Loads hyphenization and typographic rules for Portuguese
\usepackage[portuges]{babel}
%
% Better quality fonts for PS generation
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
%
% Sets the document to use Latin Modern fonts
\usepackage{lmodern}
%
% Allows the document to use colors
\usepackage{color}

% Specific class settings
%
%Sets single line spacing
\usepackage[singlespacing]{setspace}
%\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
%
% Disables paragraph identation
\setlength{\parindent}{0cm}
%
%
% Adds 0.5cm space after paragraph
\setlength{\parskip}{0.5cm}
%
% Sets the page to have only the page number
\pagestyle{plain}

% Generates a *dialogue* excert of text
%
% Parameters
% First: The aligment of the hyphen in lowercase (r, hyphen at the right side; b, hyphen at both sides; anything else left)
% The text to be changed into a dialog
\newcommand{\dialog}[2][l]{
	\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{r}}{\textit{#2} -- }{
		\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{b}}{ -- \textit{#2} -- }{ -- \textit{#2} }
}

% Generates a *thinking* excert of text
%
% Parameters
% First: The aligment of the hyphen in lowercase (r, hyphen at the right side; b, hyphen at both sides; anything else no hyphen)
% The text to be changed into a think
\newcommand{\think}[2][l]{
	\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{r}}{``\textit{#2}'' -- }{
		\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{b}}{ -- ``\textit{#2}'' -- }{``\textit{#2}'' }
}

% Formats a quotation
%
\newcommand{\quotes}[1]{``\textit{#1}''}

Btw, maybe I'm not doing it right using my custom code inside a class file but, like I said, I'm new to LaTeX and still experimenting. Any tips will be nice

Hi psicofrenia,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

As expected I don't get hyperlinks to footnotes if I copy the code you posted into a file named manuscript.cls and run the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{manuscript}
\usepackage[hyperfootnotes=false]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
Text\footnote{text}
\end{document}

Maybe you can post a minimal working example that shows your issue?

BTW: I had to add missing closing braces to your definitions of \dialog and \think.

A tip: as they are your commands like \dialog may insert unwanted spaces with their current definition. As you probably know LaTeX treats end of lines as spaces. The following definition has three ends of lines:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\dialog}[2][l]{
  \ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{r}}{\textit{#2} -- }{
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{b}}{ -- \textit{#2} -- }{ -- \textit{#2} }
}}

Better would be to hide the ends of lines with %:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\dialog}[2][l]{%
  \ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{r}}{\textit{#2} -- }{%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{b}}{ -- \textit{#2} -- }{ -- \textit{#2} }%
}}

Another tip: you don't need ifthen if you're already loading etoolbox for this definition:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\dialog}[2][l]{%
  \ifstrequal{#1}{r}
    {\textit{#2} -- }
    {%
      \ifstrequal{#1}{b}
        { -- \textit{#2} -- }
        { -- \textit{#2} }%
}}

Thanks for you reply and your welcome, cgnieder.

I looked again and now the footnote problem is fixed.

I'm considering old build files somehow not updated since I used Latexilla and compile directly from its build button. One thing that I noticed is that sometimes warnings and errors abort the build but, since the result file is always shown if it's present, I end up with some old not updated version.

In fact, as you suggested, I fixed the closing braces and changed to ifstrequal, cleaned the temp build files and it's working really smooth.

And I have to thank you also because... Well, I know this is a noob commentary but I never realized why people used the % at the end of the lines. Now I know
