### 34.1.2 Using markers to add links and instructions

You can use markers in a FrameMaker file to provide features required for assorted delivery formats:

Hypertext alerts and navigation links

Reference strings in WinHelp

Code to execute in HTML

Conversion instructions

Hypertext alerts and navigation links

To insert a hypertext marker:

1. Position the cursor in FrameMaker text where you want the marker.

2. Choose Special > Hypertext... from the FrameMaker top menu bar; the Hypertext dialog opens.

3. From the Command: list select the command for the type of hypertext marker you want to insert; typical hypertext markers and their corresponding FrameMaker hypertext commands are as follows:

Marker type | FrameMaker hypertext command
alert | Alert
alerttitle | Alert with Title
gotolink | Jump to Named Destination
message openfile | Message Client (closest fit)
message URL | Go to URL
newlink | Specify Named Destination
openlink | Open Document

The marker type name for the command appears in the Syntax: box, followed by a space. Above the Syntax: box you should see an example of the syntax to use with that marker type.

4. In the Syntax: box, after the space type a unique name for the link target, along with any other parameters required for the marker type.

5. Click New Hypertext Marker to insert the marker and dismiss the Hypertext dialog.

Reference strings in WinHelp
