# orcidlink-LaTeX-command
LaTeX style file to add a macro for inserting a linked ORCiD logo

This LaTeX style file defines `\orcidlink` and a few related macros.
The code is from [this TeX.SE
answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/445583/34063). I wrapped it
into a style file and improved the fragility of the command a bit.
Later (at the suggestion of Hugo Heagren) we added the `\orcidlogo`
command, and commands for the three recommended formats: full,
compact, and inline, with commands `\orcidlinkf`, `\orcidlinkc`, and
`\orcidlinki`.

Installation
------------

If `orcidlink` is already provided in your TeX distribution, skip this
section. You should be able to install `orcidlink` [from the CTAN](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/orcidlink) via
your distribution's utility (e.g. the TeX Live Utility).
Alternatively, you can get the package from the [source repository on
GitHub](https://github.com/duetosymmetry/orcidlink-LaTeX-command). If
you do not want to do a "full" installation, just copy
[orcidlink.sty](orcidlink.sty) into the same directory as your LaTeX
source.

Usage
-----

In your preamble, add:
```latex
\usepackage{orcidlink}
```
When you want to insert the hyperlinked ORCiD logo, use `\orcidlink{0000-0000-0000-0000}`, replacing the digits with your ORCiD (just the digits, not your whole URL). This is most common in the author list. For example, in a revtex article, you would write e.g.
```latex
\author{Emmy Noether\,\orcidlink{0000-0000-0000-0000}}
...
```
This will appear as a clickable hyperlink, and will look like this:

If you simply want the ORCiD logo without a hyperlink anywhere, use
`\orcidlogo`.

ORCiD’s [guidelines](https://info.orcid.org/brand-guidelines/)
recommend three formats: full, compact, and inline. The three formats
are available, through `\orcidlinkf{orcid}`, `\orcidlinkc{orcid}`, and
`\orcidlinki{Name}{orcid}`.

Dependancies and Compatibility
------------------------------

This package relies on the following packages:
- [hyperref](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperref)
- [tikz](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf)

All of these packages are included in the popular [TeX Live](https://www.tug.org/texlive/) distribution, so most users should not have to install anything new.

If you want to pass options to either of these packages, load them
before you load `orcidlink`. Similarly, if you want to specify options
to e.g. `xcolor`, load `xcolor` before loading `tikz` or `orcidlink`.
