Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ custom hyperref

[jediwhelan]

Hi,

I posted this question a couple weeks ago but didn't receive an answer so let me simplify the question:

is it possible to have this custom hyperref point from table titles (i.e., Table 1) to a specific anchor
in the text? Something like going backwards from a hyperref to a table.

any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You simply could have bumped the old topic [1]. And one of the reasons why didn't get an answer was that you didn't provide a true minimal example. And it's also missing here.

Regarding the problem this might be possible with an additional anchor at the place of reference. For details see the hyperref manual.

Hi Paul,

I guess the other question did not get an answer because there was no miminal working example. A piece of code would be a good start to create a solution. Without code it's quite theoretical.

You could use the commands \hypertarget and \hyperlink of the hyperref package.

Hi Stefan , Thorsten,

My original post did have a minimal working example no? I re-paste it here with the solution you Stephan gave - thanks - I think this is very cool :


\begin{document}
\section{some title}

Blah Blah Blah, see figure \ref{table:intro} , blah blah blah ...

\begin{center}
[Insert figure \ref{table:intro} about here. \hypertarget{table:intro}{}]
\end{center}

..... rest of paper .....

\appendix
\section{Appendix}

\begin{table}[p]
stuff
\caption{ Caption Text ... \hyperlink{table:intro}{Go Back} }
\label{table:intro}
\end{table}

The fact that you consider your useless code snippet a true minimal example shows that you neither have read the rules nor followed the links that Stefan and I gave you in our replies.

I fail to see the point of providing a MWE when I have no unexplained behaviour or error messages. It was simply a question which I provided a code snippet for since it may not have been clear in words what I was trying to achieve. Clearly, the simple answer was the one provided.

And that's exactly the purpose of a MWE. To reinforce a question and to show clearly what is desired. And first of all a MWE shows how you are things doing. Code snippets are always useless if not provided in a corresponding context. Even if they represent a solution. It is best to provide an example that is compilable out of the box.
