Using amsrefs
, I want to refer to an answer on mathoverflow. That site has automated amsrefs entry creation option. When I use it, everything goes fine, and the pdf file contains correct link. However when I send the file by gmail and open it in gmail with either Chrome or Firefox (latest build, on Windows 10), there is a problem with that link. If I copy it and paste elsewhere it is correct, but if I click on it, I am taken to a wrong address: instead of https://mathoverflow.net/q/313198
I get https://mathoverflow.net/q/31319
which is an entirely different page.
MWE: produce a pdf from
\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{amsrefs}
\begin{document}
$\binom nk$
\begin{biblist}
\bib{E}{misc}{
author={Noam D. Elkies (https://mathoverflow.net/users/14830/noam-d-elkies)},
note={URL: https://mathoverflow.net/q/313198 (version: 2018-10-19)}
}
\end{biblist}
\end{document}
send it to, say, yourself via gmail and open it from within the gmail pdf viewer.
Let me add that with any other math command that I tried in place of that $\binom nk$
the error disappears.
What can I do?
\url{....}
and usehyperref
your PDF has no link just some text so you are relying on the pdf reader to make a non-standard guess that something that looks like a link is a link.$\binom nk$
nearby? Because other kinds of commands (like$\frac nk$
for example) do not cause this error.https://mathoverflow.net/q/313198/
then if gmail trims it back like this comment box did (hence the quotes) it will still redirect like mathoverflow.net/q/313198 does !!
