Topics in the RoboHELP Help system include a variety of navigation components including:
Related Topics buttons: When you click a Related Topics button, a popup menu opens. It displays a list of topics you can go to. The topics are relevant to what you are currently reading in the right-hand pane or they cross-reference related information that you can go to. Click a topic from the popup and it opens in the right-hand pane.
Drop-down hotspots: Many topics include drop-down hotspots. This is clickable text (text links) that displays more information in a drop-down list. You'll often find drop-down hotspots in topics where a series of steps is involved. These drop-downs provide a quick way for you to get information about doing tasks without having to do a lot of scrolling. You only need to click the hotspots you want to read. To close the text, click the hotspot again.
Expanding hotspots: Some topics include expanding hotspots. This kind of hotspot is a text link that displays information immediately following the text. You only have to click the hotspots you want more information about. To close the text, click the hotspot again.
Text-only popups: Many topics use text-only popups. This kind of link is text that displays a popup window when clicked. The popup window displays brief information about a term or concept relevant to the topic you're currently reading. When you finish viewing the information, you click inside the popup window to close it.
Links to popup windows: When you click some links, the destination topic opens in a popup window right inside the same window you have open. It's like having two windows in one, only the focus is on the information in the popup window. When you finish reading the information in the popup window, you can close it from view or navigate to any of its links.
