Folks:<br>
<br>
Could someone please create a WORKING example of a link to<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html" target="_blank">http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html</a><br>
<br>
using LaTeX with conversion to PDF?<br>
<br>
I've tried<br>
\usepackage{url}<br>
and<br>
\usepackage{html}<br>
<br>
with<br>
<br>
\url{<a href="http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html" target="_blank">http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html</a>}<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
\htmladdnormallink<br>
{<a href="http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html" target="_blank">http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html</a>}<br>
{<a href="http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html" target="_blank">http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/\~{}Gabriele.Nebe/LATTICES/density.html</a>}<br>
<br>
along with many variations but the links never work correctly in Skim<br>
or Acrobat (after conversion to pdf). They always break the url at<br>
the '~' and then of course the link points to the wrong place. The<br>
documentation I've found such as<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.pd.infn.it/TeX/doc/html/latex2html/Hnode1.html" target="_blank">http://www.pd.infn.it/TeX/doc/html/latex2html/Hnode1.html</a><br>
<br>
implies that this should have worked, but it doesn't.<br>
