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.
