### 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.
