Clickable URL Superscripts

 

The default behaviour of URL links in Wikipublisher is to print the URL in a page or table footnote as a clickable link. Sometimes, this results in undesirable visual clutter. Instead of generating a footnote, we would like to insert a clickable superscript. Consider a link of the form [[link text -> http://www.wikipublisher.org/]]. We would like to typeset this as link text^(u) where the “u” is a clickable link to http://www.wikipublisher.org/.

To achieve this, add the following lines to local/config.php after loading the Wikipublisher extensions:

if ($format=='pdf') { 
    $UrlLinkTextFmt = 
      "<tbook:visual markup='sl'>\$LinkText</tbook:visual>". 
      "<tbook:visual markup='sup'>\$LinkUrl</tbook:visual>"; 
    $UrlLinkFootnoteFmt = 
      " (<tbook:url name='\$PageUrl'>u</tbook:url>)"; 
}

This will suppress the normal URL footnotes and instead print a clickable link as a superscript u.
