Hi Group,
I want to insert a variable hyper reference into a pdf document. The following method does not work for some reason.
\def\hyperref{http://www.website.com/abc/def}
show \hyperref
Gives the correct answer but
\useURL[this_doc][\hyperref][][displayed text]
\from[this_doc]
Gives
hyperef%20 as the url
What am I doing wrong?

the content is not expanded, why not just use

\useURL[this_doc][http://www.website.com/abc/def][][displayed text]

or

 \expanded{\useURL[this_doc][\hyperref][][displayed text]}

if that is truly impossible for some reason.

Best wishes,
Taco
