Dear Forum,
I realize there are both pdf and html versions of the GAP reference
manual, which is great. I personally like using the pdf version, so I
can search the whole manual for things. However, I find I am
constantly moving around (manually) in the document, chasing cross
references, and this can be somewhat time consuming. I think the
manual would be significantly more useful if all the references were
hyper-links.
I looked at the tex file for the manual that's distributed with GAP,
and I suspect that merely inserting a "\usepackage{hyperref}" and
recompiling is wishful thinking. This seems to be a fairly complex
document.
Any suggestions?
(By the way, I realize there is an combined html index of all the
manuals and, after a few mouse clicks and scrolls, I can usually find
what I want that way. However, imho, that's not as nice as reading
the pdf manual and using <ctrl>-f to search for things, especially
when I'm off-line!)
Thanks!
-William
