Howdy, I think if you include the hyperref package
(\usepackage{hyperref}) that just happens. Put it as the last
package loaded.
Not really with xelatex. For that you need xindy, but it has
problems with hyperref.
Umm, we've been using hyperref (without xindy) in xelatex and are
getting plenty of hyperlinks in our PDF, including to external
websites. At least I assume hyperref is what's giving us the
hyperlinks. Isn't that what it's supposed to do?
Yes. hyperref isn't incompatible with xelatex; it's incompatible
with xindy and xindy is really the only indexing system that is able
to cope properly with unicode. So although makeindex works fine with
hyperref, if you are indexing anything other than English you really
need something like xindy.
Ah, but I'm still confused. Our index entries (created with makeindex,
but not xindy) certainly contain non-ASCII Unicode characters (schwas,
stacked diacritics...), and yet the page #s attached to those index
entries seem to hyperlink just fine. Does the problem happen only if
the hyperlinks themselves on the index terms contain non-ASCII
characters? Like if we used Indic page numbers in our indices?
