Hi,

I'm new to cl-typesetting, and I'm trying to get a feel for how  
everything works.  I've looked for documentation and examples on the  
web, but can't find much.  So, first off -- can anyone point me to  
anything besides the source that might help with getting oriented?

Second, the concrete task I'm attempting to accomplish is to put text  
hyperlinks in a PDF.  My understanding is that this needs to be done  
by using a hyperlink annotation -- which only provides a bounding box  
for the area which should provide the link.  I think I can do this  
with cl-pdf, but I need to be able to work out the coordinates for  
the bounding box of a given piece of text -- in order to accomplish  
what I want to do.  Can anyone advise me as to how best to accomplish  
this?  Ideally, there would be a high-level construct to make this  
possible, and I'm happy to try to implement such a thing once I  
understand how to do so.  Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chhi'm?d

Hi,

Hyperlink support is very high on my wishlist for CL-PDF/Typesetting.  
I'm not aware of any implementation yet.

Good luck!

You mean something like pdf:add-URI-link? ;-)

There is even an example that uses it (on the fractal logo):
http://www.fractalconcept.com:8000/fcweb/download/ex7.pdf

Not yet used in cl-typesetting though IIRC.

Oh, that! <smile>

Great!

Yes, although I will want internal links, so PDF:ADD-LINK.  The issue  
is that I want to automatically extract the 'box' parameters from the  
enclosed text.  In the example program, this is relatively easy  
because you have a graphic of known size.  I would like to say  
something like,

(with-link (destination) "This is the link test.")

I haven't studied cl-typesetting enough yet to know what the right  
syntactic idiom to use would be -- but the point is that I don't want  
to have to manually calculate the box information.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chhi'm?d

ps: By the way, cl-pdf is very useful (and cl-typesetting is looking  
pretty good too so far), thanks.

So does anyone have any thoughts about how to capture this  
information?  As far as I can tell, it would require wrapping all the  
calls to PDF functions which manipulate the current document position/ 
coordinates (like PDF:MOVE-TO) -- so that they update some Lisp state  
(probably sepcial variables).  Am I missing something?  If so, what?   
If not, can anyone at least outline what they think would need to be  
done?  (i.e., which functions would need to be wrapped)?

Thanks,
Chhi'm?d

I can't help you on this right now (I'm currently moving to Boston), but
I will look at this next week.
