#### 18.7.4 Rolling your own macros for ALink jumps in HTML Help

To use a paragraph format (for example, ALinkJump) for ALink jumps, you can assign property CodeReplace to the format to replace the paragraph with a button for the ALink jump:

    [HTMLParaStyles]
    ALinkJump=CodeReplace

    [HtmlParaStyleCodeReplace]
    ALinkJump=<$ALinkButton>

    [ALinkButton]
    <object id="hhctrl" type="application/x-oleobject"
     classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11"
     width="100" height="100">
      <param name="Command" value="ALink">
      <param name="Button" value="Text:Related topics">
      <param name="Flags" value="1">
      <param name="Item1" value="">
      <param name="Item2" value="first ALink keyword">
      . . .
      <param name="ItemN" value="last ALink keyword">
    </object>

"Item1" in the macro definition specifies the path to the CHM file that contains the target topic(s); an empty value means the current CHM file.

"Item2" through "ItemN" in the macro definition each specify the value of an ALink keyword; see HTML Help Workshop Help for more information. You would have to edit the macro for each different ALink keyword.

However, instead of dedicating a special paragraph format to ALink jumps, you can provide additional macros to produce ALink jumps from the paragraph format (or marker type) you use for ALink keywords; see §18.7.5 Using the same format for ALink keywords and jumps
