Text Formatting ⇒ cross references not hyperlinking

[snif123]

Hi all,
I have been beating my head over this for a while.
I am writing a [report] in pdflatex, can't compile for all others bibtex,pdftex etc. I have crossreferenced the figures and graphs OK but I want that when I click on reference "Figure 4.5", it scrolls me to the figure referenced. How can I do this?
thanks

Hi,

load the hyperref package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}

It provides many options. If you follow the link, you will find the manual.

Hi,
Thanks a lot,works!
One slight problem though is that it puts a red square around each of the references, how can I get rid of this? Do I have to use pdftex?I am using pdflatex

[Stefan Kottwitz]

For example:

Code: Select all

\hypersetup{
    colorlinks=false,
    pdfborder={0 0 0},
}

after loading hyperref, or load it that way:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[colorlinks=false,pdfborder={0 0 0}]{hyperref}

A remark to your question:

Hi,

and you also mentioned BibTeX. There are

• TeX engines, such as TeX, e-TeX, pdfTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX, they provide the basic functionality and handle different input or output formats and fundamental features. This can mean input encoding (such as Unicode capability), output format (dvi, pdf) and advanced features (such as scripting).
• TeX format files, extending TeX for example by LaTeX macros, which results in LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX. If you use LaTeX classes, packages and macros, you need to use one of them. Still the engine could be chosen, depending on your needs.
• external programs, such as BibTeX and makeindex.

Some editors allow tho choose the engine, format and program for compiling without explicitely showing the difference.

Everything is perfect!

I'm glad to read that! As the topic is solved, it can be marked as solved. I did this for you now.
