It would also (IMHO) be very helpful to document how to create
hyperlinks at the XeTeX primitive (\special) level; JK writes :
IIRC, hyperlinks are handled entirely at the pdf output driver level; there are
no xetex primitives involved. It's just a question of inserting appropriate
\special{pdf: ...} commands.
So try looking for dvipdfmx documentation about the \special commands it
supports, and the PDF spec if you need help with the exact PDF fragments to
insert. In particular, http://project.ktug.org/dvipdfmx/doc/tb94cho.pdf might
be helpful.
but of course naive users (especially myself) do not think of XeTeX as
just one element in a tool chain; they think that when they compile a
XeTeX source document using XeTeX and a PDF is emitted, it is XeTeX that
has done the emitting, and do not care that it has devolved some part of
its task to (X)DVIPDFM(X). Since (X)DVIPDFM(X) is indeed an integral
part of the XeTeX tool chain, I think that documenting how to access its
functionality (with particular reference to (say) hyperlinks and colour)
would be very beneficial for XeTeX documentation overall.
