#### 16.1.2 Understanding the effects of mid-topic links

Several of the HTML-based Help systems are not designed to support large files with many mid-topic links. These Help systems are intended for, and some are optimized for, single-topic files. In OmniHelp, mid-topic links cause problems with navigation; for example, the Prev/Next buttons do not work as expected. HTML Help, Eclipse Help, and JavaHelp also have trouble with mid-topic links. In HTML Help, for example, the TOC does not synchronize with the topic being displayed.
