What I had in mind was writing it like this: XxxYyy [label="Xxx\n Yyy"]; i.e. with a space character after the \n. That would allow LaTeX to treat it as a two-character command, right? And the extra space would not greatly affect the way GraphViz handles multi-line labels outside of LaTeX. But I like your solution below better. > > > Why would you say '\-' is more natural in LaTeX? > > TeX has automatic hyphenation, but sometimes one must help. > That can be done via the \- control sequence.

Perhaps we should submit this idea to the GraphViz developers. I can't seem to locate the original author Derek Rayside of the script: http://www.graphviz.org/Resources.php http://web.mit.edu/~drayside/www/graphviz.tex/main.pdf ------- I have solved the remaining problems with using hyperlinking with GraphViz in LaTeX so that now the links in the diagram link directly to the appropriate section of the target. For example: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/book--main--1/Endpaper3 click on 'pdf' and then click on the first heading. This takes you to the algebra hierarchy diagram. Now click on the node "SetCategory" and you will jump directly to the definition of SetCategory in the catdef.spad.pamphlet. And similarly for the first few other top nodes. Also I had to update catdef.spad.pamphlet to include a \hypertarget{NAME}{} specification for each chunk of the file. To make this work, I had to upgrade to the most recent GraphViz version 2.7 and also modify the procedure to create pdf files to use 'dvips -z' and 'ps2pdf'. This is now implemented for the pamphlet page type on MathAction. Please let me know if you have any questions about how to use this.
