<p>I am working on a book, and the publisher has just (as I was
finishing) asked me to use \hyperref to make links active on the
electronic version. Adding \usepackage{hyperref} and making no
other changes, I get a new error message:</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite">! LaTeX Error: \verb illegal in command
argument.<br>
<br>
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.<br>
Type H <return> for immediate help.<br>
... <br>
</blockquote>
This happens because I used something like \verb|Qp| in a
footnote. Despite the error message, the resulting pdf looks ok.
Of course, I haven't actually tried using any hyperref
functionality yet. Can anyone explain what is going on?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Fernando<br>
