Defining TopicAlias Markers for Context-Sensitive Help Links
To enable context-sensitive help links using topic IDs, you need to enable the TopicAlias marker. By default, ePublisher sets the Marker type option for a marker named TopicAlias to Topic alias. You can create a marker with a different name and set the Marker type option for that marker to Topic alias.
Then, writers can use this marker in the source documents to define a topic ID in each topic that will be opened by the application. Topic IDs must follow these guidelines:
Must be unique Must begin with an alphabetical characterMay contain alphanumeric charactersMay not contain special characters or spaces, with the exception of underscores (_)To assign topic alias behavior to topic alias markers
1. Open your Stationery design project.
2. On the View menu, click Style Designer.
3. In Marker Styles, select the marker style you want to modify.
4. On the Options tab, set Marker type to Topic alias.
To avoid duplicate topic Alias markers in Word, follow these steps:
1. Always insert topic alias markers at the end of Word headings, never at the start or middle.
2. When you edit the headings, always display hidden text. Otherwise, you might inadvertently move a topic alias to the middle of the heading, causing problems.
