[Bug 1551949]

Thu Sep 1 20:07:11 UTC 2022

Thanks for now supporting links :)
... but it works good enough only for "external" links, and not as good for "local" ones, referring to places inside in the same pdf 
    ... doing so, the link GENERATED will not work at all (i.e. not very clickable) while viewing the PDF file in FireFox (internally using pdfjs),
    and it works while the pdf file is viewed in an external pdf viewer, but then yet again the link works as an external link, pointing to the linked element inside the original HTML file, not inside the same pdf file, which now contains a pdf equivalent of that html element ...
Below is a test case to show what I mean by all those stated above:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
	<title>PDF test</title>
	<style>
	@media print{
		h1{page-break-before: always;}
	}
	</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="hello">Hello!</div>
<h1>Links ...</h1>
This is a test to show how <a href="http://www.example.com/">external</a> and <a href="#hello">internal</a> links are treated while printing HTML files into PDF.
</body>
</html>
