Back to markup languages: How do I get LaTex to create internal links? Or external links either, for that matter?
I now have a copy of LaTex with MiKTeX, and have been reading the documentation and experimenting. I like what I see so far. But nowhere in the documentation can I find any reference to internal hyperlinks. All mentions of cross-references seem to mean simply text that says "see page 12" or "...chapter 5" or "...figure 8.3". I'm all for that, but I want the reader to be able to click on "see Section 5.13" and jump straight to it If I can't do it in LaTeX, it's a deal-breaker. It must be possible, I'm sure, but where is it documented? As I understand it: - TeX is a basic typesetting program. - LaTeX is an extension to TeX; I gather it overrides some TeX behaviors and adds others, by adding packaged definitions written in TeX. - LaTeX2e is a significant update to LaTeX. - MiKTeX is an editor that simplifies writing LaTeX documents. After downloading and installing MiKTeX I discovered that it didn't have much in the way of LaTeX documentation, so I hunted around on the web. I've read: - Most of "LaTeX / A document preparation system / User's guide and reference manual" by Leslie Lamport; looks like a document that was scanned and then run through OCR to translate it to PDF. No PDF bookmarks. - Some of "LaTeX2e for authors" and "New LATEX methods for authors (starting 2020)", both of which seem to be more in the way of summaries than manuals. - I skimmed through "MikTeX Manual / Revision 4.6" by Christian Schenk. This seems to focus on commands that I suppose are executed from the DOS window, so I didn't pay close attention; that may be where I'm going wrong. - "A short manual for TeXworks (lowering the entry barrier to the TeX world)" by Alain Delmotte, Stefan Löffler, and others; I haven't looked at this one yet, believing it to be irrelevant to my question. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Do you know what constitutes a "hate crime"?
