I have a footnote with a long url containing an underscore, like this:
\footnote{\url{http://www.example.com/somethinglong_somethingotherlong}}
The link appears in the pdf, but it is broken off after the underscore and redirects to http://www.example.com/somethinglong_
, which of course gives a page not found error.
How do I solve this? Adding a \ before the underscore doesn't do anything (the backslash just shows up in the pdf). It seems that the same problem was encountered here
but I see no answer here as well.
EDIT: I can't use hyperref
. Added MWE below.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ismir,amsmath,cite,url}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage[capitalise]{cleveref}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{alltt}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\begin{document}
Some text with a footnote.\footnote{\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Markov_model}}
\end{document}
Best Answer
Typesetting URL strings in footnotes is known to be tricky at times. It's best to use a defined-URL macro in such cases, using the
\urldef
machinery of theurl
package.Feel free to load the
hyperref
package as well, so that clicking on the URL string (in a suitable pdf browser, naturally) takes you to the URL in question.
