Re: Creating many explicit buttons (each pointing to a file)

[LdBeth]

There a various approaches I can think of.

Check the .hypb file which contains the button data, it is easy to guess
the format and programmically generate many buttons.

OR

Use the standard Emacs buffer local variable format

;;; Local Variables: ***
;;; mode:lisp ***
;;; comment-column:0 ***
;;; comment-start: ";;; "  ***
;;; comment-end:"***" ***
;;; End: ***
