## 8.11 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 markers for both ALink jumps and ALink-list targets.

Mif2Go constructs KLinks for WinHelp 4 automatically, from FrameMaker index markers. You can add other “K” footnotes that do not appear in the Mif2Go-generated index, either with formats or with markers.

Advantages of markers

Using markers for related-topic links has some advantages:

• The same markers work for ALinks and KLinks in all other Mif2Go-generated Help systems that support related-topic links.

• Mif2Go creates the WinHelp ALink or KLink macros for you when you use markers.
