I want to use \href
to shorten an url.
My current document looks like this:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,urlcolor=Blue]{hyperref}
...
\begin{document}
\href{https://www.flickr.com/search/?safe_search=1&license=2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6%2C9&dimension_search_mode=min&height=640&width=640&media=photos}{https://www.flickr.com/search/?license=2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6%2C9}
\end{document}
My desired output is an url https://www.flickr.com/search/?license=2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6%2C9
that, when clicked on, links to the long link.
Currently, latex interprets the %
in the url as the start of comments and doesn't show the url at all.
I tested it in TeXstudio on Ubuntu and it seems to work, when you put a backslash in front of the %. % => \%
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,urlcolor=Blue]{hyperref}
...
\begin{document}
\href{https://www.flickr.com/search/?safe_search=1&license=2\%2C3\%2C4\%2C5\%2C6\%2C9&dimension_search_mode=min&height=640&width=640&media=photos}{https://www.flickr.com/search/?license=2\%2C3\%2C4\%2C5\%2C6\%2C9}
\end{document}
