### 9.7.2 Adding ALink and KLink jumps for HTML Help

You can use markers or paragraph formats for ALink and KLink jumps; however, Mif2Go provides support only for markers. In HTML Help, a related-topic jump is implemented with an <object> linked to the HTML Help OLE control:

Markers | If you use markers for ALink or KLink jumps, Mif2Go provides the <object> macro code automatically; see §9.7.3 Configuring ALink and KLink jumps for HTML Help. Put the markers in paragraphs by themselves, located where you want the jump to appear in output.
Formats | If you use paragraph formats for ALink or KLink jumps, you have to provide macro code for the ALink object; see §9.7.4 Rolling your own macros for ALink jumps in HTML Help.

See also §7.6.5 Adding ALink and KLink jumps in FrameMaker.

Note: Because both ALink/KLink jumps and secondary windows/pop-ups use objects in HTML Help, they cannot be combined; for example, you cannot display an ALink-accessed page in a secondary window.

ALinks work in uncompiled HTML Help, if you use the HTML Help viewer instead of a Web browser.
