17.9 Invoking
WinHelp macros
You can invoke a WinHelp macro from
a hotspot. You can use this feature to create a jump to an external location,
or to run another application from within WinHelp.
To create a macro hotspot, apply an
inline element with a special @outputclass
to the hotspot text in DITA XML, the same way you would for a jump or
a pop-up; see §17.8.2
Creating hotspots for jumps and pop-ups in WinHelp.
