Hi Hans,
Thanks for the new release and the nice anchoring features.
I played a little bit with these, and noticed some issues: in the following
example, linking the bottom bounds of the integral signs is fine (as long as
numbers are put there), but for the upper bounds, the \infty and \pi/2 are not
accepted (nor is any letter or greek symbol), but if one replaces \infty and
\pi/2 with numbers, then the link between the upper bounds is shown. (In this
example the links are invading the text, but probably this is due to the fact
that I just copied the Metapost snippet you sent to Gavin).
Best regards: Otared
