Dear LaTeX users,

A quick question about the internal link in a LaTeX document. I would like to know how to act the intern link in both ways. I explain what I want to say.

When I click on a title in the table of content, I'm going to this title in the text. I already did that. But I would like to have the possibility, when I click on a title in the text, I'm going to the table of content.

And the same thing for citation, footnote, etc .

Thanks for your help.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Ant0in8,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

I guess you're using the hyperref package? (I've heard not everybody knows every package ;) )

There is no all-in-one solution that I know of. Here is what I know
  • For citations »hyperref« has the backref and pagebackref options, please refer to the manual (hyperref) for details.
  • For footnotes there is the footnotebackref package.
I have never heard of backlinks to the ToC (and I have trouble seeing any advantages...)

Best regards

Hi cgnieder,

Thank you for your welcome, And your answer !

I'm using the hyperref package. I've just finished to instal and understand the footnotebackref package. I have looked the backref and pagebackref options, and it's what I was looking for.

And it's true there is no advantage in backlinks to the ToC, bad idea :).

Thank you very much. ;)
