How to color cross reference with oxford bioinfomatics latex template?

Question

I use oxford bioinfomatics latex template available at:

http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/bioinformatics/for_authors/cabios-template.zip

Main file content is modified only by adding packages and an empty table in method section.

If I load hyperref package (line 6) an error is raised: Package calc Error: 'D' invalid at this point.

Is it possible to use hyperref on this latex template?

Thanks for your help

Note: I put the template on sharelatex you can live test it (2 compilations are needed): https://fr.sharelatex.com/project/582c3477343d34b37017330e

Answer 1

Add

\let\href\undefined

right before \usepackage{hyperref}.

---

Thanks to Dai Bowen for identifying the problem, and Stefan Kottwitz for providing a similar solution in "How to patch a package".

Answer 2

Just a comment to solution #3: (\let\href\undefined): it does NOT work if you compile with pdflatex. The hyperref package conflicts with the bioinfo.cls and margins are unset which totally unformats the paper.

The solution I have found is this:

\let\href\undefined
\usepckage[divpdfm]{hyperref}

and then, compile with LaTeX and later make dvipdfm your_file.dvi. An additional side-effect is that, if you use the graphicx package, you will have to use .eps as graphical format for your figures (not .png, .jpg, etc.). One of the many programs you may use to change format is the convert command in the ImakeMagik package.

Answer 3

Overleaf provides a template of the Bioinformatics journal and it seems to work well with the hyperref package.

I compared it with the .zip template which was downloaded from the Bioinformatics website, and then realized it's the chngpage.sty to blame. (It's still an old version v1.1b while its v1.2 made some changes for hyperref.)

So the advice is to delete all the .sty files in the downloaded template.

Answer 4

The accepted solution did not work for me. However, I have found the easiest way to tackle this problem is by changing the citation color manually like the following:

\renewcommand{\cite}[1]{{\color{blue} \textsc{\citeauthor{#1}} (\citeyear{#1})}} \renewcommand{\citep}[1]{({\color{blue} \textsc{\citeauthor{#1}} \citeyear{#1}})}
