[texhax] Hyperlinks lost in pdf file

[Philip Taylor]

This appears to work, Rudolfo, provided that one uses "dvips -z" as
recommended by Dan Luecking :

> \input eplain
> \enablehyperlinks
> 
> \def \bra #1{\hlstart {url}{}{#1.pdf}}
> \def \ket {\hlend}
> 
> A hyperlink \bra {http://philip-taylor.org/}XXX\ket
> \end
