    <explain-macro|label|name><explain-synopsis|reference target>
  <|explain>
    The operand must evaluate to a literal string, it is used as a target
    name which can be referred to by <markup|reference>, <markup|pageref> and
    <markup|hlink> tags.

    Label names should be unique in a document and in a project.

    Examples in this section will make references to an example
    <markup|label> named ``there''.

    <\tm-fragment>
      <inactive*|<label|there>>
    </tm-fragment>
  </explain>

  <\explain>
    <explain-macro|reference|name><explain-synopsis|reference to a name>
  <|explain>
    The operand must evaluate to a literal string, which is the name of a
    <markup|label> defined in the current document or in another document of
    the current project.

    <\tm-fragment>
      <inactive*|<reference|there>>
    </tm-fragment>

    The <markup|reference> is typeset as the value of the variable
    <src-var|the-label> at the point of the target <markup|label>. The
    <src-var|the-label> variable is set by many numbered structures:
    sections, figures, numbered equations, <no-break>etc.

    A <markup|reference> reacts to mouse clicks as an hyperlink.
  </explain>

  <\explain>
    <explain-macro|pageref|name><explain-synopsis|page reference to a name>
  <|explain>
    The operand must evaluate to a literal string, which is the name of a
    <markup|label> defined in the current document or in another document of
    the current project.

    <\tm-fragment>
      <inactive*|<pageref|there>>
    </tm-fragment>

    The <markup|><markup|pageref> is typeset as the number of the page
    containing the target <markup|label>. Note that page numbers are only
    computed when the document is typeset with page-breaking, that is not in
    ``automatic'' or ``papyrus'' page type.

    A <markup|pageref> reacts to mouse clicks as an hyperlink.
  </explain>

  <\explain>
    <explain-macro|hlink|content|url><explain-synopsis|inline hyperlink>
  <|explain>
    This primitive produces an hyperlink with the visible text
    <src-arg|content> pointing to <src-arg|url>. The <src-arg|content> is
    typeset as inline <src-arg|url>. The <src-arg|url> must evaluate to a
    literal string in <abbr|URL> syntax and can point to local or remote
    documents, positions inside documents can be be specified with labels.

    The following examples are typeset as hyperlinks pointing to the label
    ``there'', respectively in the same document, in a document in the same
    directory, and on the web.

    <\tm-fragment>
      <inactive*|<hlink|same document|#there>>

      <inactive*|<hlink|same directory|file.tm#there>>

      <inactive*|<hlink|on the web|http://example.org/#there>>
    </tm-fragment>

    If the document is not editable, the hyperlink is traversed by a simple
    click, if the document is editable, a double-click is required.
  </explain>

  <\explain>
    <explain-macro|include|url><explain-synopsis|include another document>
  <|explain>
    The operand must be a literal string and is interpreted as a file name.
    The content of this file is typeset in place of the <markup|include> tag,
    which must be placed in <re-index|block context>.
  </explain>

  <\explain>
    <explain-macro|action|content|script><explain-synopsis|attach an action
    to content>
  <|explain>
    Bind a <scheme> <src-arg|script> to a double mouse click on
    <src-arg|content>. For instance, when clicking <action|here|(lambda ()
    (system "xterm &"))>, you may launch an <verbatim|xterm>. This action is
    encoded by

    <\tm-fragment>
      <inactive*|<action|here|(lambda () (system "xterm &"))>>
    </tm-fragment>

    When clicking on actions, the user is usually prompted for confirmation,
    so as to avoid security problems. The user may control the desired level
    of security in <menu|Edit|Preferences|Security>. Programmers may also
    declare certain <scheme> routines to be ``secure''. <scheme> programs
    which only use secure routines are executed without confirmation from the
    user.
