Added hidelinks flag to hyperref usage to links are hidden #7

Closed Jdban closed 8 years ago

Jdban commented 8 years ago

Some PDF readers make links make your paper look awful with these big ugly boxes around them. When I had my paper formatting reviewed, they told me to remove the usage of yellow and green and blue coloring from my paper which I was unaware of, and this was the cause.

I enabled the hidelinks flag in the hyperref package in order to stop this from happening (link here).

Here is what my paper looked like before and after in one offending pdf reader:

Does this disable links altogether? Or just remove the boxes?

Jdban commented 8 years ago

It just removes the horrifically ugly boxes, the links still work. Documentation here: http://mirrors.concertpass.com/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/doc/manual.pdf

@Jdban cool, can you rebase and I'll merge?

AndrewGuenther commented 8 years ago

Sorry for the delay, one more time?

AndrewGuenther commented 8 years ago

It is really annoying that Github doesn't notify when a rebase is done. No wonder I missed it the first time.

Jdban commented 8 years ago

Oh that's annoying. Good to know.
