Q:

Reportlab: Is it possible to have internal links in Platypus?

I know that I can internally link with canvas, but my whole doc's set up with Platypus. Does Platypus support internal linking? How hard is migrating to canvas if it doesn't?
Thanks in advance!

A:

You can use intra-paragraph markup to create anchors (<a> tag) and links (<link> tag), as explained in the section 6.3 Intra-paragraph markup (chapter 6, page 72) of the ReportLab 2.6 User Manual PDF, which also contains the following example:
This <a href="#MYANCHOR" color="blue">is a link to</a> an
anchor tag ie <a name="MYANCHOR"/><font color="green">here</font>.
This <link href="#MYANCHOR" color="blue" fontName="Helvetica">is
another link to</link> the same anchor tag.
