LaTeX link error using href inside of tabular block

Question

I have this LaTeX code:

\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l} \small MY ADDRESS\\
\href{http://www.github.com}{github} \end{tabular}

Which is giving me this error and no other details...

Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \href 

l.27 \href
         {http://www.github.com}{github} \end{tabular}

does anyone know why??

Answer 1

You need to load the hyperref package in order to use \href{<url>}{<stuff>}:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l}
  \small MY ADDRESS \\
  \href{http://www.github.com}{github}
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
