First, the idea comes from the fact that there is an unused argument,
and that deeply disturbs my cartesian conception of the world ;-)
Then there is a wished functionnality : when the URL is too long. So
in HTML I want just a short word in visible text but with a long and
precise URL hidden behind, and in DVI I want a shorter URL, which is a
good compromise between being ugly with a text too long and completely
losing the pointer.
Example :
@uref{
http://www.ind.alcatel.com/library/product_catalog/,
Alcatel,
http://www.ind.alcatel.com/
}
Or rather in a more "legacy-compatible" way, swap second and third
arguments (I realize that my first suggested order was not clever).
@uref{
http://www.ind.alcatel.com/library/product_catalog/,
http://www.ind.alcatel.com/,
Alcatel
}
