Ok, I give up: is there some way to do extra manipulation on the previous word? (like, making it a reference, or something)
HH> Can you be more explicit on what you want to achieve? Consider:
This word\footnote{with a footnote} has a footnote
Now, when producing DVIs, the foonote number (hyer)linked to the footnote would suffice. When creating PDFs I would prefer the footnote to be turned into a tooltip (this I already did) and the word to be turned into the active area, i.e. a result similar to \tooltip{footnote}{with a footnote}.
it is still on my agenda to make something generic for that
I can do this by defining a command \xfootnote{word}{with a footnote} that gives either of the two results in each case, but it would be nice if it was possible without changing the sources.
the problem (well not that big a problem since it's seldom needed) is that one cannot look back into the input stream over the word; so indeed something with multiple args is needed, although clicking on some symbols is ok too Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
