Page Layout ⇒ Hyperlinks in ToC for added Chapters

[magical marshmallow]

Hey there,

I'm writing a document and I would like to have a clickable link in the ToC to my abstract and acknowledgments pages. Currently I have a contents line will all these, but when you click it, it just goes to the top of the contents page. Has anyone done this or can anyone offer an idea?

My current code looks as follows:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,citecolor=blue, linkcolor=black}
\begin{document}
\chapter*{Acknowledgements}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\chaptermark{Acknowledgements}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Acknowledgements}
I wish to acknowledge blah blah

As an aside, is there a way to make a reverse hyperlink from a references section back to the point at which it occurs in the document?

Cheers

The backref and/or pagebackref options to hyperref will put back-references in the bibliography for you, to my understanding. The following seems to do what you wanted to do, at least as far as I can tell:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[colorlinks,citecolor=blue,linkcolor=black,pagebackref]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter*{Acknowledgements}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\chaptermark{Acknowledgements}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Acknowledgements}
I wish to acknowledge blah blah~\cite{someone}.

Blah blah blah.

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{mybibfile}
\end{document}

By the way, I highly suggest posting a working example in the future. It takes us that much longer to help you when we have to add the document class, end document, bibliograpy, etc. See the oft-used minimal working example link for more info.
