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.
