Spell Check
detex sect1.tex | spell
ispell paper1.tex
- Plain user of the package:
\usepackage[a4paper=true,ps2pdf=true,pagebackref=true]{hyperref}- This will add commands into the PDF to create a linked table of contents, as well as links for the cross-references such as calls to figure and page numbers
- The
a4paperoption is easy to understand. ps2pdf=truetells the compiler that you'll useps2pdfto create the PDF output.pagebackref=trueis a great option, it adds page numbers in the bibliography and links to the positions in the document where you actually cite them.
- One can also add information about you document:
\hypersetup{pdftitle = The title of my PDF,pdfauthor = My name,pdfsubject= The subject,pdfkeywords = keyword1 keyword2 keyword3}
- Finally, colors can be used:
\hypersetup{colorlinks = true,linkcolor = red,anchorcolor = red,citecolor = blue,filecolor = red,pagecolor = red,urlcolor = red}- That will put some colors in the PDF documents to make the links more obvious to the reader.
- Remove color box around links
\hypersetup{colorlinks=false, pdfborder={0 0 0},}
