Date: July 24, 2007 5:59:07 PM CEST
The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: doi Author's name: Maarten Sneep Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/doi Summary description: Create correct hyperlinks for DOI numbers. License type: lppl Announcement text:
You can hyperlink DOI numbers to dx.doi.org. However, some publishers have elected to use nasty characters in their DOI numbering scheme (‘<’, ‘>’, ‘_’ and ‘;’ have all been spotted). This will either upset (La)TeX, or your PDF reader. This package contains a single user-level command \doi{}, which takes a DOI number, and creates a correct hyperlink from it. This is an update to the doi package. The underscore was missing from the list of characters that could mess things up. Michael Orlov sent in a patch to fix this (thanks!).
