dvips: Hypertext

 
 5.4 HyperTeXt
 =============
 
 Dvips has support for producing hypertext PostScript documents.  If you
 specify the '-z' option, the 'html:' specials described below will be
 converted into 'pdfmark' PostScript operators to specify links.  Without
 '-z', 'html:' specials are ignored.
 
    The resulting PostScript can then be processed by a distiller program
 to make a PDF file.  (It can still be handled by ordinary PostScript
 interpreters as well.)  Various versions of both PC and Unix distillers
 are supported; Ghostscript includes limited distiller support (⇒
 Ghostscript installation).
 
    By far the most common LaTeX package used to create hyperlinked
 output is 'hyperref' (<https://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref>).  For plain TeX,
 the Eplain package has some hyperlink support
 (<https://tug.org/eplain>).
 
    This hypertext support (and original form of the documentation) was
 written by Mark Doyle and Tanmoy Bhattacharya as the 'dvihps' program.
