17.7.3.2 Deciding whether to scroll titles

Keep title from scrolling

A title can either scroll with the text, or remained fixed in a no-scroll region at the top of the page. The default is for the title to remain fixed:

[HelpOptions]
; TitleScroll = Yes (title para scrolls with text), 
;  or No (fixed at top)
TitleScroll=No

Add to no-scroll region

You can extend the no-scroll region to include text that follows the title by setting the additional paragraphs to have the Keep With Next property, and by specifying the following:

[HelpOptions]
; ExtendHelpNoScroll = No (default), 
;  or Yes (allow Keep With Next paras)
ExtendHelpNoScroll=Yes

Override no-scroll extension

To keep the ExtendHelpNoScroll=Yes setting but override it for particular paragraph formats, for each such format specify the following:

HelpStyles]
YourFormat=NoXScroll

Note:  If a paragraph format is already listed under [HelpStyles], just add the NoXScroll property to its current list of properties; do not repeat the format name.

Scroll title

To make titles scroll with the text, specify the following:

[HelpOptions]
TitleScroll=Yes

Override scrolling

You can still create a no-scroll region for such topics with this setting:

[HelpOptions]
ExtendHelpNoScroll=Yes

Pop-ups cannot be scrolled

Pop-up topics do not have scroll bars, so you might have to override the TitleScroll and ExtendHelpNoScroll settings. For each pop-up-topic paragraph format, add properties Scroll and NoXScroll. For example:

[HelpStyles]
PopTopic=Topic Scroll NoXScroll
