### 5.10.1 Delimiting a hotspot with a character format

You can create a hotspot for a hypertext link by applying a character format to just those words you want highlighted and activated. The span of the hotspot (the active area of the link) is determined by the span of the character format in which you place the marker.

Sometimes by accident a marker is placed just before, or just after, character-formatted text; Mif2Go watches for this situation, and treats such markers as though they were inside the formatted area. However, if the marker is not in or adjacent to the formatted text, the unformatted part of the paragraph where the marker is located becomes the hotspot, which is practically never what you want. Also, if character formats have been applied to any part of a paragraph, the link extends both ways from the marker, until the character format changes.
