Hi Quiliro, I prefer to do these things by creating sexps. So, instead of having blackbox-ish code that would save and restore the position in a tutorial, I have functions - the don't feel blackbox-ish to me - that let me create a hyperlink to a section of a tutorial with just a few keystrokes... There are several ways to create links like these ones, that point to sections of tutorials... (find-eev-quick-intro "4.1. `find-here-links'") (find-refining-intro "1. Pos-spec-lists") (find-refining-intro "2. Refining hyperlinks") (find-saving-links-intro "3.3. Invisible text") Note the their htmlizations are: http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html#4.1 http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-refining-intro.html#1 http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-refining-intro.html#2 http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-saving-links-intro.html#3.3 The most basic way, obviously, is "type the whole hyperlink by hand". A slightly less basic way is "use find-here-links - i.e., `M-h M-h' - to create a hyperlink to the current intro, and then add the pos-spec-list by hand (maybe using cut and paste)". The BEST way is to use the ideas here (find-saving-links-intro "3.3. Invisible text") to refine the hyperlink with fewer keystrokes. There's a video about that here: (find-1stclassvideo-links "2021workshop4") Title: Invisible text (workshop 2021-dec-04) MP4: http://angg.twu.net/eev-videos/2021-workshop-4.mp4 YT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhpHHjBUxv8 Page: http://angg.twu.net/2021-workshop.html Comment: Very bad - don't watch!!! Date: 2021dec04 Length: 5:42 Play: (find-2021workshop4video "0:00") In the months after recording that video I thought that it was very bad... then I watched it again and thought that it was quite good. I hope that helps - eev becomes much easier to use when we learn how to create links to sections of tutorials! [[]] =), Eduardo Ochs
