CTAN update: aeb-mlink

[CTAN Announcements]

Donald P. Story submitted an update to the

                aeb-mlink

package.

Version number: 2018-04-20
License type: lppl1

Summary description: Multi-line links with hyperref

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


The aeb_mlink package defines new link commands to create multi-line 
links. The new commands are \mlhypertext, \mlhyperlink,
\mlhyperref, \mlnameref, \mlNameref, \mlhref, and \mlurl. 

PDF Creators: Adobe Distiller or ps2pdf 

What's New (2018/04/20): Previously, the links created by aeb_mlink 
consisted of a series of rectangles around each of the syllables
of the hypertext or url; the little rectangles responded in unison when 
any one of them were clicked. In this version, Postscript
procedures are used to combine the little rectangles into one rectangle 
per line of hypertext. Also the Rect entry has been changed to
be the smallest rectange that encloses the hypertext (or url). The 
Postscript tries to detect problems with the links, and reports to
the log (distiller or ps2pdf log). The PDF Specification does not support 
cross-page links, to resolve this issued, a method of
'cracking' a link apart, breaking it into two links. The second link is 
free to move to 
the next page.
