Cross references

All kinds of cross references can be created from within the RTF-file. The reference itself must be formatted with the attributes "double-underline/hidden" and must follow the standard HTML-conventions, such as "http://www.w3.org" or "file.txt" or "#mark1". The "hot" text, that is the text that will appear "clickable" in your Web-browser, immediately follows the reference and must be double-underlined, but not hidden.

Anchors for internal cross references (such as "mark1", corresponding to the example above) must be formatted either with the attributes "hidden/outline" or "hidden/superscript". For example this link will bring you to the list of new features in rtftoweb 1.6.

If you just want to create a reference to a certain heading resp. section, it is sufficient to simply format the reference with the color red (when using rtftoweb.dot: mark the reference and press Control-Shift-r). The text of the reference must match the beginning n characters of the heading, so the references "Supplying" and "Supplying a title" point to the same section.

If an email address such as bolik@irb.uni-hannover.de is colored red, rtftohtml will automatically produce a cross reference of type "mailto". Not all Web browser support this type of references (Netscape does).

The same work for all other kinds of URLs, so if the URL ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/ is colored red, rtftohtml will automatically produce a reference pointing to that URL.
