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.
