General ⇒ hyperref | Hyperlink directly on a section title

[Heresy]

Dear All,

I would like to make a back reference from every chapter title in my document to the table of contents, that is to say that clicking on a title would lead to the display of the table of contents.

This could be applied generally for each kind of sections and could be useful to go back rapidly to the table of contents after going to the wrong chapter to be read.

I put the following in my document:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{4}
\clearpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Table of Contents}
\tableofcontents
\label{Table of Contents}

However, when it comes to create the link, I do not know by what \chapter{Introduction} must be replaced. I would imagine something like the following, but working:

Code: Select all

\hyperref[ref{Table of Contents}] {\chapter{Introduction}}

.

Thank you.

Regards.

Hi,

I recommend to redefine the \chapter macro or an implicitly used macro such as \@makechapterhead. Further redefine \section. How you can do this, depends on the class which you are using, because the class defines the macro.

So please tell us the class name. Perhaps you would have got a working code already, if you would have posted a minimal working example which a reader could have modified.

Hello,

Thanks Stefan for your reply. I appreciate it.

I use the class book. A MWE can be found enclosed. Your suggestion sounds right, but to be honest, I don't know how to handle it.

Thanks for any help.

Regards.
