HyperText
Although generally used for HTML (HyperText Markup Language) documents,
EasiWriter lets you use HyperText links in normal documents. You can move from
one part of a document to another, to an entirely different document or even to
an HTML or MS Word document by Alt-Clicking on a link.
Links and anchors
The Bookmark function can be used to provide Links and Anchors.
- An Anchor marks a specific point in a document that is used by a
HyperText link as a destination.
- A Link is a pointer in a document that can transport you to another
part of the document or to another document entirely.
By convention links are blue and underlined. In EasiWriter holding down Alt
and clicking scrolls the part of the document containing the anchor
into view (even if it is in another document).
