How to make clickable links and cross-references in pdfs produced by LaTeX?
I need links for the Table of Contents, so that I can navigate fast to different sections. I apparently need some package.
I tried the package url unsuccessfully.
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
colorlinks,
citecolor=black,
filecolor=black,
linkcolor=black,
urlcolor=black
}
You can change the color of the links as above.
hidelinks. This can also be done like this: \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}. To set all colors at once, use allcolors=black. colorlinks seems to work the same as colorlinks=true.
hidelinks seems to be unnecessary in my XeLaTeX file. Not sure if this is because of XeLaTeX or that the lack of visual indication of links has been made default in hyperref. Somebody might want to investigate.
The package listed is correct. This is a more detailed account of setup though:
\usepackage{color} %May be necessary if you want to color links
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
colorlinks=true, %set true if you want colored links
linktoc=all, %set to all if you want both sections and subsections linked
linkcolor=blue, %choose some color if you want links to stand out
}
Once this is all setup, you should just be able to include the
\tableofcontents
sometime after
\begin{document}
and be all set
Don't miss out on the
\hypersetup{linktocpage}
option to only link the page numbers and not the entire table of contents; when links are being coloured the default behaviour can be a bit overwhelming.
Moreover, if you need to use dviaps+ps2pdf driver then in the default setting, the hyperlinks of long headers (that occupy more than one line) are scrambled due to a known incompatibility (README for hyperref, Section 7) and linking the page numbers resolves this issue.
The way to go is the hyperref package.
