[Framers] Basic question: hyperlinks to paragraphs

[Reng Winfried]

Hi Bertrand,

Yes, I would also like such a spot cross-reference!
This is an old feature request. If this gets enough attention,
this might make it into the next release.

Dear Steve and Lin,

 

Thanks for the comments. A cross-references forces me to use a cross-reference format for the link, e.g. "section 4.5". I cannot use a reference format, I want to use an arbitrary text for the linking text, as in "this is explained in the discussion of cat problems", where the underlined text (I hope the mailing list mailer keeps the underline) is my own text but a link to some chosen place.

 

Hyperlinks to this but force me in each case to add two commands, a gotolink at the source and a newlink at the target, which is horrendously tedious if one has thousands such cases. The newlink is not conceptually necessary since all the targets are paragraphs so I should be able simply to choose from a paragraph list as with cross-references.

 

With best regards,

I'm glad you posted this, Lin. I was about to do the same, but then my Inner Voice said "Nah - you've been out of the loop too long: you're missing something. Keep quiet." :-)
