## 7.6 Providing related-topic links for Help systems

You can include links to related topics several ways. According to usability studies, the best way is also the simplest: create lists of cross references (perhaps under a Related Topics heading) in your FrameMaker document files. Mif2Go converts these cross references to links.

Mif2Go also supports dedicated related-topic links:

• associative links (ALinks) for all Help systems except WinHelp 3 and JavaHelp

• keyword links (KLinks) for HTML Help and OmniHelp.

Dedicated related-topic links are typically displayed in a menu or pop-up window, or in a navigation pane. With limited screen estate, they offer the advantage of not cluttering the topic pane with See and See also entries.
