README for hyperref bundle
Version 2024-11-05 v7.01l
INTRODUCTION
This package is used to emend cross-referencing commands in LaTeX to produce some sort of \special
commands; there are backends for the \special
set defined for HyperTeX dvi processors, for embedded pdfmark commands for processing by Acrobat Distiller (dvips and dvipsone), for dviwindo, for pdfTeX, for dvipdfm, for TeX4ht, and for VTEX's pdf and HTML backends.
Included are:
hyperref
The main hyperlinking functionality.backref
a package by David Carlisle to provide links back from bibliography to the main text; these are hypertext links after usinghyperref
.nameref
a package to allow reference to the names of sections rather than their numbers.
DOWNLOAD
hyperref
is available on CTAN:https://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref
Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files, already sorted in a TDS tree: CTAN:http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref.tds.zip
"CTAN:" means one of the 'Comprehensive TeX Archive Network' nodes or one of its mirrors. This is explained in https://texfaq.org/FAQ-archives
The main repository of hyperref is located at github https://github.com/latex3/hyperref
INSTALLATION
The easiest is to use the package manager of the TeX System.
Installation with ZIP file in TDS format
The ZIP file hyperref.tds.zip contains the files sorted in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the ZIP file inside a TDS tree. (See CTAN:tds.zip for an explanation of TDS.) Example:
cd /...somewhere.../texmf unzip /...downloadpath.../hyperref.tds.zip
Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this TDS tree. Example for TeXLive:
mktexlsr /...somewhere.../texmf
Manual installation
- Download the hyperref files from CTAN or the TUG server. If necessary, unpack them.
- Generate the package and driver files:
tex hyperref.ins
- Install the files
*.sty
,*.def
, and*.cfg
in your TDS tree:cp *.sty *.def *.cfg TDS:tex/latex/hyperref/
. ReplaceTDS:
by the prefix of your TDS tree (texmf
directory). The exception isbmhydoc.sty
, it belongs to the source files (TDS:source/latex/hyperref/
). - Copy the documentation files to "
TDS:doc/latex/hyperref/
": hyperref-doc.pdf, README.md, ChangeLog.txt, slides.pdf, paper.pdf, hyperref.pdf, backref.pdf, nameref.pdf (Also the HTML version of the manual can be put there). - Update the databases if necessary, eg. for TeXLive:
mktexlsr .../texmf

BUG REPORTS
A bug report should contain:
- Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or warning messages.
\errorcontextlines=\maxdimen
can be added in the TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages.
- Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not contain any unnecessary packages and code.
- Used drivers/programs.
- Version information about used packages and programs.
- If you are using LaTeX, then add "
\listfiles
". Then a list of version informations is printed at the end of the LaTeX run.
- If you are using LaTeX, then add "
- Please no other files than the minimal test file. The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom necessary, so send them only on request.

<hanthethanh [at] gmail [dot] com>
- Reinhard Kotucha
<reinhard [dot] kotucha at web [dot] de>
Arabic part
Responsible for the additions to PU encoding for Arabi is Youssef Jabri <yjabri [at] ensa [dot] univ-oujda [dot] ac [dot] ma>
KNOWN PROBLEMS
- (half-done) hyper images (link from thumbnail in text)
- Relative links are not sorted out or documented well. For PDF generation:
- With baseurl: all links are considered relative to this URL.
- Without baseurl: a relative link without "file:" can be achieved by:
\begingroup \hypersetup{linkfileprefix={}}% \href{../foo/bar.html}{bar.html} \endgroup

hyperref – Extensive support for hypertext in LaTeX
The hyperref package is used to handle cross-referencing commands in LaTeX to produce hypertext links in the document. The package provides backends for the \special set defined for HyperTeX DVI processors; for embedded pdfmark commands for processing by Acrobat Distiller (dvips and Y&Y’s dvipsone); for Y&Y’s dviwindo; for PDF control within pdfTeX and dvipdfm; for TeX4ht; and for VTeX’s pdf and HTML backends.
The package is distributed with the backref and nameref packages, which make use of the facilities of hyperref.
The package depends on the author’s kvoptions, ltxcmds and refcount packages.
