17.10 Creating related-topic links
in WinHelp
You can create ALink target topics in WinHelp by assigning
“A” footnotes to formats, and provide links to those topics
by embedding WinHelp ALink macros in the text of your document. Or, you
can use PI markers for both ALink jumps and ALink-list targets.
DITA2Go constructs KLinks for WinHelp 4 automatically,
from DITA index entries. You can add other “K” footnotes
that do not appear in the DITA2Go-generated index, either with
formats or with PI markers.
Advantages of markers
Using PI markers for related-topic links has some
advantages:
- The same markers work for ALinks
and KLinks in all other DITA2Go-generated Help systems that support
related-topic links.
- DITA2Go creates the WinHelp
ALink or KLink macros for you when you use PI markers.
