Re: [Axiom-developer] htlatex and links

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Hi Martin, look into ALLPROSE. Compile a .dvi File and then hover over a 
link in the Exports part of a type.

My DviViewer shows something like

#.2=:MyPrimitiveType:[.PER,PER.]->Boolean

for something like

  ~=: (%, %) -> Boolean

I also had to translate round brackets into square ones, since hyperref 
forgot everything after the first closing (or was it opening) parenthesis.

This translation also happens in tools/aldordoc2tex.pl. I am sure you 
can adjust it.

Ah, and as you can see, I included the name of the type in the link.

And make sure you remove ">" from the filename. Otherwise it will be 
hard to remove that file.

Why do you need bijectivity at all? All you want is a cache, right? So 
md5 seems OK to me.
