The hyperref package provides a LaTeX solution, the briefest of which is
the \url{} command (and the \nolinkurl{} variant).
#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=llp{2cm}
| ITEM | Comment | e-mail
|
|------------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------------------|
| ~url~ cmd | e-mail is a dead link |
\url{this.email@shouldbe.wrapped} |
| ~nolinkurl~ cmd | e-mail is just text |
\nolinkurl{this.email@shouldbe.wrapped} |
| ~mailto:~ syntax | e-mail is an mailto: link |
mailto:this.email@shouldbe.wrapped |
*** Notes for the mailto syntax
For the ~mailto:~ syntax to work the variable
~org-export-latex-href-format~ needs to use the ~url~ command instead of
~href~
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/44911/match=href+latex+link+url)
: (setq org-export-latex-href-format "\url{%s}")
While I prefer the ~mailto:~ syntax as more the `orgmode way', there are
two possible issues:
- config :: It requires a change to *all* LaTeX link exports
- display :: The ~mailto:~ string is also exported
I do not know what other solutions are currently possible to resolve those
issues.
