  • is there a reason you can't use the optional "short title" for these titles, e.g., \chapter[documentation for link to Section 1]{<full title>} ? Commented May 31, 2018 at 14:18
  • @barbarabeeton Thanks for the suggestion, very interesting possibility, I have to investigate but first test looks like to work for me as well. Commented May 31, 2018 at 14:54
  • the "short title" option is the canonical mechanism for specifying an entry for the table of contents and running head, and that should be the first thing tried for the book class. but some document classes do things differently, and it's worth knowing that that's the case.
