I'm trying to create, in an ordinary Mathematica 6.0.1 notebook, a
hyperlink to a particular documentation paclet, namely, the tutorial
about the Combinatorica package.
I began by using menu item Insert > Hyperlink and then edited the
ButtonData. I tried each of the following three ways, but none works;
each just opens the main Documentation Center page:
(1) The hyperlink target is
"paclet:Combinatorica/tutorial/Combinatorica", just like what is used in
Documentation Center pages. The actual expression in my notebook is:
Cell[TextData[{
ButtonBox["tutorial",
BaseStyle->"Link",
ButtonData->{"paclet:Combinatorica/tutorial/Combinatorica", None}]
}], "Text"]
(2) The hyperlink target is the complete path to the file, as created
using ToFileName. The actual expression in my notebook is:
Cell[TextData[{
ButtonBox["tutorial",
BaseStyle->"Link",
ButtonData->{ToFileName[{$InstallationDirectory,"Documentation","English",
"Packages","Combinatorica","Documentation","English","Tutorials"},
"Combinatorica.nb"], None}]
}], "Text"]
(3) The hyperlink target is crated by the function
Documentation`HelpLookup. The actual expression in my notebook is:
Cell[TextData[ButtonBox["tutorial",
BaseStyle->"Link",
ButtonData->{
Documentation`HelpLookup["paclet:Combinatorica/tutorial/Combinatorica"],
None}]], "Text"]
What's wrong with those?
I finally did get the following to work, although this involves drastic
editing of what is inserted by the Insert > Hyperlink menu item.
Cell[TextData[ButtonBox["tutorial",
ButtonEvaluator->Automatic, ButtonFunction->
(Documentation`HelpLookup["paclet:Combinatorica/tutorial/Combinatorica"])
]], "Text"]
