RE: Activating urls

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Thank you Nikolai (and Patrick too!)

The following outputs the url but I don't get a hyperlink:

=================================================
% output=pdf interface=en

\useURL
[Adobe]
[http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5091.Design_MM_Fonts.pdf]
\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext

\url[Adobe].

\stoptext
=================================================

Am I missing yet something else?

Best

How are you viewing this?  Perhaps your application doesn’t support
hyperlinks, or they have been disabled in it?,

Idris,
[First, sorry if you get this twice. I first mailed it from my wrong 
account]

Not exactly sure what you are after, do you want to "print" the url
out, or make an active link that clicking on will take you to.

If you want to print the url, then

\setupcolors
	[state=start]
\setupinteraction
   	[state=start,color=blue]
%  To use a url,
\useURL
     [mypage] << the cite you will use
     [http://www.webpage.edu] << the actual web address
     [] << if you were linking to a file
     [\tex{My Web page}] << What you want the link to print in the
document

\starttext
This is an example of link usage in \ConTeXt. If the link works, you
should see that My Web Page is repeated here \from[mypage] and is
highlighted in blue and that the link works. An alternative would be to
list the link as a url as in here, \url[mypage]. However, using the url
command gets a printing of the url, e.g,. http://www.webpage.edu.
\stoptext

Hope that helps.
Robert

Hi Idris,

I get a 'half working' hyperlink. Try to replace '\url' by '\from'.

Aha, is that the right way to do it?  I actually get fully working
hyperlinks with \url (as far as I can tell), but perhaps \from is the
right macro.  Sorry about confusion,

I'd say yes, but my knowledge is only based on practice and not the
source/documentation. (Too lazy to look at it right now.)

I tried Idris' example and found out that it lead to the wrong
destination, and the printed hyperlink looked fine (but the real one
wasn't). Then I tried \from instead of \url and that gave me the
correct behaviour.

I think that there is some magic in acroread 7. it parses the text and
if it sees a http://someth.ing  it will make that active. 

When looking at the pdf file from the code below, there is only one
real annotation object (well, split in 14 sub-objects) coming from the
\from-statement. The url generated by the \url command is not correct.

--------------------------------------------------
\pdfcompresslevel=0
\setuppagenumbering[location=]

\useURL
[Adobe]
[http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5091.Design_MM_Fonts.pdf]

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\startbuffer
\url[Adobe]

\from[Adobe]
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\typebuffer
\getbuffer
\stoptext
