Re: [docbook-apps] Suppressing hyperlinks in PDF


Hi Warren,
Using a parameter is always easier.  In this case, it will disable the url
reference in brackets, but the ulink text itself will still be a hotlink.
If a user clicks on it, the PDF reader will try to follow the link.  Of
course, it isn't obvious that it is a link, so it might not be a problem.
