Problem using xr-hyper and hyperref
Thomas Arildsen
www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=extref) I figured out that I need
to use xr-hyper. Following the above example, I attempted the following:
I have a document testxrhypersource.tex containing:
\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
Test equation:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:1}
A=B
\end{equation}
\end{document}
I have another document testxrhyper.tex containing:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{xr-hyper}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\externaldocument{testxrhypersource}
\begin{document}
Test refererence~\ref{eq:1}.
\end{document}
I first compile testxrhypersource.tex a couple of times until everything
has fallen into place. Then, when I try to compile testxrhyper.tex
(pdfLaTeX), I get the following error:
ERROR: Paragraph ended before \Hy@setref@link was complete.
--- TeX said ---
<to be read again>
\par
l.10
--- HELP ---
A blank line occurred in a command argument that shouldn't contain
one. You probably forgot the right brace at the end of an argument.
I cannot figure out what is wrong. Could someone please take a look at it?
Thanks,
Thomas Arildsen

The format in which \label stores referencing-information
in these \newlabel-entries in the aux-file is not identical
for documents which load the hyperref-package and
documents which don't load the hyperref-package.
Thus you cannot import labels from a document which did
not load the hyperref-package to a document which does
load the hyperref-package and vice versa.
The following works:
testxrhypersource.tex:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{hyperref} %!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
\begin{document}
Test equation:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:1}
A=B
\end{equation}
\end{document}
testxrhyper.tex:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{xr-hyper}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\externaldocument{testxrhypersource}
\begin{document}
Test refererence~\ref{eq:1}.
\end{document}

In package zref/module xr I have written a parser for .aux
files that tries to import as much data as possible.

Oh, I see. I was not aware of this.
Thanks a lot,

This sounds useful as well, but it seems that both your approach and
xr-hyper require me to modify the referred document as well. This is a
document I am not willing to make any modifications in, at least for now,
so I think I will do without hyperref for now and just use xr.

At first glimpse I thought you could probably load the hyperref-
package with the "draft"-option which would (usually) not change
the look of the resulting document/pdf-file in comparison to not
having loaded hyperref at all.
But this does not work: If hyperref was loaded with draft-option
for testxrhypersource.tex, but loaded without draft-option for
testxrhyper.tex, then you won't get error-messages during
compilation of any of the files, but all references from
testxrhyper.pdf to testxrhypersoure.pdf will end up on the first
page of testxrhypersoure.pdf as therein no anchors were created.
I wonder if implementing some sort of "anchorsonly"-option
or -switch for the hyperref-package makes sense or if - once
more - I overlook something important which renders such
an undertaking into something obsolete.
