You can place a hyperlink to a given URL (Universal
Resource Locator) using
the \xlink
command. Like the \link
command, it takes an
optional argument, which is typeset in the printed output only:
\xlink{
anchor}{URL}\xlink{
anchor}[printed reference]{URL}
In the HTML-document, anchor will be an active hyperlink to the
object URL. In the printed document, anchor will simply be
typeset, followed by the optional argument, if present. A starred
version \xlink*
has the same function as for \link
.
If you need to use a ~
in the URL of an \xlink
command, you have
to escape it as \~{}
(the URL argument is an evaluated argument, so
that you can define macros for common URL's).
