## 8.9 Creating jumps and pop-ups for WinHelp

To invoke a jump or a pop-up in WinHelp, you click a hotspot: usually green underlined text. Clicking a hotspot causes one of the following:

• a jump, if the underline is solid: another topic replaces the topic in the current window

• a pop-up, if the underline is dotted: a smaller window pops up over the current window.

Mif2Go provides two systems for creating WinHelp jumps and pop-ups:

Current system: | Based on FrameMaker cross references and hypertext links
Older system: | Based on FrameMaker markers (see §8.9.11 Configuring alternative jumps and pop-ups)

Use only the current system, unless your project requires special-case jumps or pop-ups that cannot be produced with cross references or hypertext links. The older, alternative system is deprecated.
