16.1.2 Understanding the effects
of mid-topic links
Several of the HTML-based Help systems are not designed
to support large files with many mid-topic links. These Help systems
are intended for, and some are optimized for, single-topic files. In
OmniHelp, mid-topic links cause problems with navigation; for example,
the Prev/Next buttons do not work as expected. HTML Help,
Eclipse Help, and JavaHelp also have trouble with mid-topic links. In
HTML Help, for example, the TOC does not synchronize with the topic being
displayed.
