\section{Manual Linking Controls and LaTeX Examples}
PhysicsLibrary automatically links encyclopedia terms when it can resolve them
unambiguously. Manual linking controls let authors guide that process when the
automatic linker needs help, when a phrase should not be linked, or when a link
should point to a specific object, file, or external source.
This document is both a short user manual and a reference page of examples. It is
intended for authors writing encyclopedia entries, collaboration documents, and
site documentation.
\section{Automatic links}
When an article mentions a known concept such as vector, matrix, quaternion, or
Euler angle, PhysicsLibrary may automatically link that phrase to an encyclopedia
entry.
For example, this sentence intentionally mentions a vector, a matrix, and a
quaternion.
Automatic links are useful, but authors sometimes need more control. The manual
commands below are used for that.
\section{Link to an encyclopedia entry by canonical name}
Use \verb|\PMlinkname| when the visible link text should differ from the target
entry name.
\begin{verbatim}
\PMlinkname{direction cosine matrix}{DirectionCosineMatrix}
\PMlinkname{quaternion representation}{Quaternion}
\PMlinkname{Euler 3-2-1 sequence}{Euler321Sequence}
\end{verbatim}
Rendered example:
The attitude can be represented by a
\PMlinkname{direction cosine matrix}{DirectionCosineMatrix}, a
\PMlinkname{quaternion}{Quaternion}, or an
\PMlinkname{Euler 3-2-1 sequence}{Euler321Sequence}.
This is useful when the text should read naturally but the target object has a
different canonical name.
