It's a text file. You can't put a clickable link in a textfile. You can put a regular http link that the user can copy/paste into his browser, if you want to. AFAIK, you can't create a link that points into a CHM helpfile - you can only point to the helpfile itself, not to a specific section in it. We could just generate a HTML file with the same contents as the man-page though, and link to that - thus not having to link out onto the internet which really shouldn't be accessible from your database server :-) //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
