Link
Insert linking anchors or pointers into report
Description
This component inserts linking anchors or pointers into the report.
For a PDF report, if you open the report from MATLAB (for example, if you open the
report right after generating it), the link does not work. However, if you open a PDF
report outside of MATLAB (for example, from Adobe Acrobat), the link works properly.
Properties
• Link type: Select the type of link to insert into the report. Options include:
• Linking anchor: Specifies a link to an anchor.
• Internal document link: Specifies a location in the report (as specified by an
anchor).
• URL (external) link: Specifies a link to a Web site or to a MATLAB command
to execute from generated report.
• Link identifier: Indicates the location to which the link points. It can contain only
ASCII characters, and it is not visible in the generated report.
For a Web link, the link identifier options are context sensitive; their formats
differ depending on the link type you select. For example, to link to an external file
foo.txt, specify the link identifier as follows:
• On UNIX systems:
file:///home/janedoe/foo.txt
• On Microsoft Windows systems:
H:\foo.txt
For a link to a MATLAB command, enter matlab: followed by a space and the
MATLAB command that you want the link to execute.
• Link text: Specifies text to use in the link.
