Link to a target in the same document by using an mlreportgen.dom.LinkTarget object to define the link target and an mlreportgen.dom.InternalLink object to define the link. The link target name associates the link with the link target. To generate a link target name that is valid for all report types, use mlreportgen.utils.normalizeLinkID.

import mlreportgen.dom.*
import mlreportgen.utils.*
d = Document("mydoc","pdf");

% Append a link target to a heading
h = Heading(1,"Author's Biography");
h.Style = {PageBreakBefore(true)};
linkID = normalizeLinkID("bio");
append(h,LinkTarget(linkID));

% Link to the target
append(d,InternalLink(linkID,"About the Author"));

% Append the heading 
append(d,h);

close(d);
rptview(d);
