### 9.4.1 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 FrameMaker hypertext alert marker (see §34.1.2 Using markers to add links and instructions), 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. In FrameMaker, an information alert box containing the pop-up text appears when you Ctrl+Alt-click the hotspot.
