Text Formatting ⇒ How to change text colour in

[BastienBastien]

Hello,

I am writing a book by using TexLive 2012 on ArchLinux GNU/Linux distribution. It does work fine !

But I have a problem while trying to change the colour of the chapters. I have done :

Code: Select all

\chapter{\color{red} Identification du Système \color{black}}

This works fine. But, when I open the PDF file with Acrobat Reader, in the left pane "Bookmark" (where you can see all chapters and so on), it displays :

\color{red} Identification du Système \color{black}

Instead of :

Identification du Système

Please note that the chapter name is in red color, this is okay, but how to make it not showing the \color command ?

Thanks a lot !
Bastien

Hi Bastien,

welcome to the board!

Use \texorpdfstring of hyperref, i.e.

Code: Select all

\chapter{\texorpdfstring{\color{red} Identification du Système \color{black}}{Identification du Système}}

The second argument will be used for the bookmark.

Hello Stefan_K

I gonna try this evening and I'll tell you.

By the way, how is it possible to know this mysterious texorpdfstring command ? Have you read the \LeTeX2e programm from A to Z ? I guess not, so how is it possible to know such very specific command ? 'cause general books does not talk about it !

Kind regards,
Bastien

It's documented in the manual of the hyperref package which is used to create the PDF links and bookmarks.

You would also be better to use \textcolor rather than \color

Code: Select all

\chapter{\textcolor{red}{Identification du Système}}

Hi,

Thanks a lot. It works fine !

I have tried the first possibility, but I also will write down somewhere the second possibility.

Have a good day,
Bastien
