5.5.1 Setting default types and options
---------------------------------------

The default types for links and destinations can be set with the
following commands:

     \hltype{TYPE}
     \hldesttype{TYPE}

where TYPE is one of the link/destination types supported by the
selected hyperlink driver (Note: Hyperlink drivers).

   Default values for the options can be set with the following
commands:

     \hlopts{OPTIONS}
     \hldestopts{OPTIONS}

where OPTIONS is a comma-separated list of option assignments in the
format 'OPTION=VALUE'. Again, what options are allowed depends on the
selected hyperlink driver.

   Many people regard the default boxed links as not aesthetic and
intruding on page layout. The reason why boxed links are the default is
that the links are not colored until you load the LaTeX 'color' package
(Note: Loading LaTeX packages) or use other means to define the
'\color' command; therefore, not producing any kind of link border may
result in the links not being marked in any way. However, when the links
are actually colored, there is no need to produce the link boxes
anymore; to avoid the boxes, you can set the default border width to
zero (if the driver you use supports the link option 'bwidth'; Note:
Hyperlink drivers):

     \hlopts{bwidth=0}
