Topic keywords

Topic keywords are keywords that are added to individual HTML topics. These keywords are not included in the index file (.HHK), although they are merged with index file keywords at run-time and displayed from the Index tab in the viewer.

When you work with keywords in the Index Designer, you will see both topic keywords and index file keywords. The Index Designer identifies index file keywords with a key icon and topic keywords with a key/page icon .

Limitations of topic keywords

Note: When you convert a WinHelp project file (.HPJ ) into an HTML Help-based Help system, the keywords in the WinHelp topics are saved as keywords in the index file.
