Hi Francesco, You got several good answers; I wanted to add a few points.

As others noted, when producing a PDF, the heart of the solution is the `pdfhref` macro defined by "pdf.tmac". Historical macro packages long antedate the World Wide Web, so we have to add extensions to them that are URL-aware. mom, dating back only to 2002 or so, doesn't require such effort. :) At 2025-01-07T20:09:16+0100, onf via GNU roff typesetting system discussion wrote: > see section 2.5.4 of the attached PDF, which is distributed with > groff.

A think to know is that the pdfmark contributor, Keith Marshall, has relocated development of this project. From the forthcoming groff 1.24 NEWS: * Keith Marshall's pdfmark package is no longer distributed with groff, but is now separately maintained. Please visit <https://osdn.net/users/keith/pf/groff-pdfmark/> for the latest version.

"pdf.tmac" doesn't define it. Regards, Branden
