Hi Jesper,
What is the recommended way to deal with the changed meaning of @url
in a backward compatible way?
Just use it.
If a document correctly used @url for an example url in the past, then
it will just be output as a live link in 4.7 (unless/until it is changed
to @indicateurl, if you're willing to assume 4.7). No great harm there.
At least such was my logic.
In looking at existing uses of @url, well over 90% of them were
incorrect and should have been @uref. I figured it was a losing battle
to try to get people to understand -- @url is just too mnemonic of a name.
Thanks,
karl
