Document Classes ⇒ Hyperref and Table of Contents issues

[Simon Halliday]

Hi Ladies and Gents,

I have been having issues because I am trying to use the hyperref package, but I don't want numbered sections. Hence I have used the following to get a section into the contents page:
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{"section name"}

But, I want the text that appears from the \addcontentsline command to act as a hyperref. Currently all that is happening is that all of the lines in the ToC are hyper-referenced to the the table of contents page, rather than to the pages on which their content appears. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,

that should work, I think. Try this minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\newpage
\section*{One}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{One}
Text	
\newpage
\section*{Two}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Two}
Text
\end{document}

Do you get correct links to the pages?

Perhaps consider to use \phantomsection.

We will need a minimal working example showing this behaviour.

Problem solved. Thanks Stefan.
