General ⇒ multiple use of \ref & \label for headlines?

[thomasle]

Hello,

I am not new to Latex, but actually can't solve one issue myself.
Somehow I can't use \label and \ref togehther with hyperlinks...

The thing is I'd like to make some kind of newsletter.
One sidebar shall give an overview about the topics, including hyperlinks:

Code: Select all

\hypertarget{contents}{\textbf{{\large Overview\ldots}}} 
\begin{itemize}
\item \hyperlink{news1}{Topic A}
\item \hyperlink{news2}{Topic B}
\item \hyperlink{news3}{Topic C}
...
\end{itemize}

Later in the document where the article begins it is necessary to retype the topics headlines, instead of using some kind of link or label.

Code: Select all

\hypertarget{news1}{\heading{Topic A}{6pt}} 
...
\hypertarget{news2}{\heading{Topic B}{6pt}}
...
\hypertarget{news3}{\heading{Topic C}{6pt}} 

So if you don't pay full attention there could be differences.
That is why I would like to use some kind of labels and references.
The big question is: how?

Any hint is welcome.

Thomas

Can you provide a minimal working example (a rather small but complete document, follow the link for details) which we can copy and test?

Hi Clemens,

thanks for your reply. I shortened the newsletter template.
Long story short, is there any possibility not to have each topic twice?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article} % The default font size is 10pt; 11pt and 12pt are alternatives



\input{structure.tex} % Include the document which specifies all packages and structural customizations for this template

\begin{document}

%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%	HEADER IMAGE
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\begin{figure}[H]
\begin{addmargin}{-0.075\textwidth} % Graphics field wider than text field
% my graphics here
\end{addmargin}
\end{figure}

\Large\textbf{Newsletter}

Sadly I can't compile and test – the example isn't minimal and depends on files I don't have…

Hi Clemens,

you are right, my example unfortually was not minimal and incomplmete.
Sorry for that, so please one last try with this working one:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article} % The default font size is 10pt; 11pt and 12pt are alternatives

\usepackage{hyperref}

\newcommand{\heading}[2]{ % Define the \heading command
\vspace{#2} % White space above the heading
{\begin{center}\Large\textbf{#1}\end{center}} % The heading style
\vspace{#2} % White space below the heading
}
\begin{document}


\Large\textbf{Newsletter}

\hypertarget{contents}{\textbf{{\large Inhalt\ldots}}} % \hypertarget provides a label to reference using \hyperlink{label}{link text}
\begin{itemize}
\normalsize
\item \hyperlink{news0}{pre...}
\item \hyperlink{news1}{Topic1}
\item \hyperlink{news2}{Topic2}
\item \hyperlink{news3}{Topic3}
\item \hyperlink{next-times}{whatsnext}
\end{itemize}


\hypertarget{news0}{\heading{Pre...}{6pt}} % \hypertarget provides a label to reference using \hyperlink{label}{link text}

This is what this newsletter is about


\hypertarget{news1}{\heading{Topic1}{6pt}} % \hypertarget provides a label to reference using \hyperlink{label}{link text}

dead text esfr sdf asdfgdetu jguj dfg srdfqw e w e sgdstg h j gfhrs f das f adf sfad ghrtfg hj tdugjk zu kjheatrd gf qewrd qwrt gezrts jdtku kjgd jhgdrgf aer hgsjtzuk zdfhgws efdqwe dwetg hrszkj duz srgh we 


\hypertarget{news2}{\heading{Topic2}{6pt}} % \hypertarget provides a label to reference using \hyperlink{label}{link text}

dead text esfr sdf asdfgdetu jguj dfg srdfqw e w e sgdstg h j gfhrs f das f adf sfad ghrtfg hj tdugjk zu kjheatrd gf qewrd qwrt gezrts jdtku kjgd jhgdrgf aer hgsjtzuk zdfhgws efdqwe dwetg hrszkj duz srgh we

section, you are looking for the very simple section and tableofcontents. LaTeX does this kind of stuff for you.

[thomasle]

Thanks Johannes, a TOC is similar to what I was looking for, except I found no way of including an itemized TOC into a minipage with hyperlinks.
