### 8.9.9 Using the same content for both normal topics and pop-ups

Suppose you want to create pop-ups that can be accessed from hotspots with varying text content; and suppose the text for each pop-up is already in use as a regular topic in your document. You could do either (or both) of the following:

• Copy the pop-up content to another file, and give the copy a different paragraph format, so you can assign it different properties in the configuration file. See §8.9.9.1 Using a separate file for pop-ups.

• Put the pop-up content in text insets, and thus avoid duplicating the content. See §8.9.9.2 Using text insets for both pop-ups and normal topics.

You could use the first method for cases where you want the text to be slightly different for topic and pop-up, and the second for true single-sourcing.
