Hi Amber, I'm copying this reply to the groff mailing list, as that will provide access to much more collected wisdom on the subject.

I don't know how to achieve this effect with DVI, or if it is even possible -- keep the [EMAIL PROTECTED]' list copied, as someone else may be better able to advise. > Of the possible reasons are: > 1. dvi and htmlfiles have very small sizes Not often a consideration in these days of cheap mass storage, and broadband Internet access, but an admirable objective nonetheless. > 2. latex/tex provides this capability, I wished groff did so > as well. I don't know much about LaTEX or TEX, so can't really offer any advice. I understood that these were tools primarily for producing printed documents; how do you generate a `hot link' from a printed page? Certainly, I believe you can produce PDF or HTML output from these tools, but these formats are also well supported by groff. If you are merely looking for techniques for generating page references in a printed document, then this has been discussed in the past. Search the groff mailing list archives -- the techniques employed in pdfmark.tmac are a distillation of the wisdom to be found there. Best regards, Keith. _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
