Re: internal link page numbers?

[Thomas Lord <lord-A+ZCe59fpk2Wd6l5hS35sQ@public.gmane.org>]

Thank you.  To get printed page numbers on references
I adopted this workaround:

In a custom LaTeX template I defined a macro PG,
after package hyperref is loaded:

\usepackage{hyperref}
\newcommand{\PG}[1]{\mbox{(p. \pageref{#1})}}

Thus I can write a link this way:

[copyright and licensing terms \PG{copyright}](#copyright)

which is not ideal but will do.

On the other issue, you suggest writing:

[Appendix: The GNU General Public License 3.0]

That's the opposite of what I am wishing for.  Supposing
a section header like this:

Appendix: Copyright and Licensing Information {#copyright .unnumbered}
=============================================

I wish I could write a link like this:

     [](#copyright)

And have the text "Appendix: Copyright ... Information" supplied
automagically.

That way, if I alter the section header, all such links
to the section stay in sync.
