Hi Quiliro,
I prefer to do these things by creating sexps. So, instead of having
blackbox-ish code that would save and restore the position in a
tutorial, I have functions - the don't feel blackbox-ish to me - that
let me create a hyperlink to a section of a tutorial with just a few
keystrokes...
There are several ways to create links like these ones, that point to
sections of tutorials...
(find-eev-quick-intro "4.1. `find-here-links'")
(find-refining-intro "1. Pos-spec-lists")
(find-refining-intro "2. Refining hyperlinks")
(find-saving-links-intro "3.3. Invisible text")
Note the their htmlizations are:
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html#4.1
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-refining-intro.html#1
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-refining-intro.html#2
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-saving-links-intro.html#3.3
The most basic way, obviously, is "type the whole hyperlink by hand".
A slightly less basic way is "use find-here-links - i.e., `M-h M-h' -
to create a hyperlink to the current intro, and then add the
pos-spec-list by hand (maybe using cut and paste)". The BEST way is
to use the ideas here
(find-saving-links-intro "3.3. Invisible text")
to refine the hyperlink with fewer keystrokes. There's a video about
that here:
(find-1stclassvideo-links "2021workshop4")
Title: Invisible text (workshop 2021-dec-04)

Comment: Very bad - don't watch!!!

In the months after recording that video I thought that it was very
bad... then I watched it again and thought that it was quite good.
I hope that helps - eev becomes much easier to use when we learn how
to create links to sections of tutorials!
