The paperclip icon is one of the default option on the toolbar. Having highlighted the link text, as well as the right click route explained above, there are two more routes to the ‘Add Link’ feature, plus a keyboard shortcut: cmd K. If you’re outputting to paper, you’d provide the reader the relevant URL and expect them to open their browser and type in the URL for themselves. Clicking this link automatically opens the browser and fetches the relevant page.Īgain, these links only makes sense if you’re producing an electronic product. External linksĮxternal links allow the reader to jump to a URL via a browser. This post explains how that system works. If you want to leap to somewhere within a document, rather than to the start, you’ll need to apply the same cross-referencing technique that’s used for figures and tables. So, they can jump back to that, if they wish. Notice that, once the reader is at the ‘Colon’ page, there is a link back to where they were, in the bottom left of the screen. (You can do this before or after you set up the link.) It’s not clear to the reader that these are links, but if you want the hyperlinks to be formatted differently … apply the formatting to the link text, eg underline it. This is how the hyperlinks looks on screen in the ebook. Tick the box for ‘Convert document links to HTML links’.
When it’s time to compile, make sure you have set up the right conditions for hyperlinks. You can then browse within the Binder structure to find the destination document.
If no suggestions are offered, click on New Link. If one suits your needs, select that suggestion as the destination for this hyperlink. Select that and consider the suggestions. Then, right click to reveal the option ‘Link to Document’.
