hyperref - making some liks a different colour

[Hillevi Gavel]

I am creating a hypertext document, using hyperref. I would like to make
some links a different colour from the one I set when loading the
package. I have failed understanding how to do this from reading the
manual. Any hints?

(The reason I want to do this is that I want to differentiate links to
related topics and links to a vocabulary page.)

The colour options are not limited to \usepackage or the preamble,
they can be used in the whole document. Set the option
inside a group for a temporary change:

\begingroup
\hypersetup{<options for changed link colours>}%
<your link goes here>
\endgroup

Thank you very much! (Curiously enough, hypersetup is not found in the
Big alphabetical list in the manual. I was looking for something like
that and did not find it.)

This list is a list of *options*, \hypersetup is not an option.
\hypersetup is explained in "3 Package options".

Ah, now I found it in the manual. I wonder if it might be a good idea to
point out that you *can* change the settings, because I suspect that I
would have missunderstood the text to mean that you set the options once
and for all, if I had found the text to begin with.

I do not have the time to rewrite the whole documentation, there are
many things to do in the sources. But I have added the behaviour some
time ago that you get a warning if an option is used too late.
