17.8.2 Creating hotspots for
jumps and pop-ups in WinHelp
To create a hotspot, in DITA XML specify a dedicated
@outputclass for either
of the following:
- the text of a cross reference
- text that contains a hypertext
link.
Note: If hotspot text is followed
immediately by a space, when your WinHelp project is compiled the space
disappears, even though it is present in the RTF output. The workaround
is to make the space a hard space in DITA XML.
