5.5.2 Setting group types
-------------------------

When called with an optional argument, as in

     \hltype[GROUPS]{TYPE}
     \hldesttype[GROUPS]{TYPE}

where GROUPS is a comma-separated list of groups, '\hltype' and
'\hldesttype' set the type for each group from GROUPS to TYPE. The
default type is used for all groups with an empty type (this is the
initial setting for all groups, except that the type for the 'url'
linkgroup is set to 'url' by the drivers which support this link type).

   There are two special "groups" which can be used inside the GROUPS
list. An empty group sets the default type. This allows to set the
default type and group types in one command, for example:

     \hltype[eq,]{TYPE}

sets the link type for the 'eq' linkgroup and the default link type to
TYPE.

   Another special group is a star ('*') group, which signifies all
defined groups. For example, the command

     \hldesttype[*,]{TYPE}

sets the destination type to TYPE for each group, as well as the default
destination type.
