#### 18.5.1 Using HTML Help for pop-ups

Although you cannot specify font or text property changes within an HTML Help pop-up, you can specify text attributes for the entire pop-up. The following settings apply to all pop-ups. For example:

    [MSHtmlHelpOptions]
    ; MS HTML Help Popup options, for use with Hypertext Alert markers
    ; PopFont = Facename[,point size[,charset[,color
    ;  [,PLAIN BOLD ITALIC UNDERLINE]]]]
    PopFont=Helvetica,10,,PLAIN
    ; PopMargins = left margin, right margin (in pixels)
    PopMargins=9,9
    ; PopColors = foreground, background (in decimal RGB, -1 is default)
    PopColors=-1,-1

HTML Help text pop-ups are limited to 243 characters in length. You put the pop-up text itself inside a PI alert marker, and indicate the span of the hotspot with a character format that includes the marker. If you do not use a character format, the entire paragraph becomes the hotspot. If you are viewing this text in HTML Help,

this is an example.

You can put pop-ups in image maps.
