Questions tagged [interaction]
{interaction} is about moving from one part of the document to the other by clicking on a link in the document. In LaTeX, interaction is provided by the {hyperref} package. In ConTeXt, interaction is enabled using `\setupinteraction[state=start]`. It can also refer to the mode in which you interact with TeX itself.
