This is a novice question. In fact I am not a novice as I have been using FrameMaker extensively for many years, but I have not used intra-document hyperlinks so far, jut cross-references (lots and lots of them).
What I want to do now is simple to state: have text of the form Blah blah this is some text and that is a pointer to some other part of the text where pointer (using a specific character format, in this case causing underlining) is a hyperlink or equivalent so that in the generated PDF clicking it will go to some designated target place in the text. I am used to cross-references, as in ... This was discussed in section 4.5, page 67, of the previous chapter ... but they only make it possible to have a source that is a reference format; as far as I know they do not make it possible to have as source of the hyperlink an arbitrary word, such as "pointer" above. I also know how to create a hyperlink, putting a "gotolink XXX" Hypertext marker under pointer (the source location) and another of the form "newlink XXX" at the target location. But this is horrible because I need to invent a new label ("XXX") for every single target, and insert "newlink XXX" at the corresponding place. I have -- literally -- thousands such locations; inserting them would consume several days of my life, spent in a silly way since there is no conceptual need for these markers. (The text, by the way, is the revision of the Eiffel standard of which the previous version is at https://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-367.htm. If you look up the text you will see that it has thousands of underlined elements, e.g. unfolded form in the last bullet item on page 97. They correspond to concepts defined formally elsewhere in the text. At the moment one has to look them up in the index, or perform a search. They should be hyperlinks! Hence the question.) The reason it is pointless to have to insert "newlink XXX" all over the place is that since the hyperlinks always go to tart paragraphs of specific types ("formats"). (I fanatically use FrameMaker paragraph-typing mechanisms.) I just want to link to a specific paragraph of a specific type, choosing it from the automatically list, as I do with cross-references. Is there a way to do this? I am using FrameMaker 2015, although I will soon update to the latest version. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and best regards, -- Bertrand Meyer _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
