 when setting up a section head you can say

 interaction=list

Re: [NTG-context] footnote rollover message in PDFs (with interaction)

2013-05-15 Thread Alan Bowen
Thanks, Hans. I expect that there will be more interest from publishers now
as ebooks become more common, move to diverse platforms, and cease from
being digital shadows of printed volumes.

Also of interest would be support that would allow one to recover from
taking an internal hyperlink (i.e., returning to the original location
after taking an internal link to another location/page).

 i'm thinking of cooking up some support like that for ebook like

 support from the viewer; there are several solutions possible) ... i did a
 lot of that stuff over a decade ago but there waas never much interest in
 it (from publishers)

afaik that's already the case (two way coupling) but it goes unnoticed 
if one's on the same page

Yes, two-way coupling for footnotes works (though as you say, it goes
unnoticed if everything is no the same page. But what of other hyperlink
links, say, a reference to a chapter or a section?

[NTG-context] footnote rollover message in PDFs (with interaction)

The PDFs that I produce are now being read on a number different platforms,
some with very small screens. So, in the case of footnotes at least, I was
wondering if there was a way to  produce PDFs such that when the cursor
passes over the footnote call, the popup message includes the entire
footnote and not just “Go to page xx”.
