Using aliases with bookmarks

It is possible to create aliases for bookmarks in RoboHELP. However, the current version of Microsoft HTML Help does not support using them with context-sensitive Help. When users press F1 or click Help at a dialog or window that uses a bookmark, the application displays the topic, starting with the first line of information (topic title). Users will have to scroll through the content to find the specific information referenced by the bookmark.

Notes:

  • The next release of Microsoft HTML Help may support bookmarks with context-sensitive Help.

  • If you delete the bookmark from the topic, the alias is not automatically removed the way they are for window-level HTML topic files. As a result, you should manually unassign the alias from the bookmark after you remove it from a topic.
