<Jump Sequence>
You can use the <Jump Sequence> command to jump to another sequence from the current sequence.
<Jump Sequence> sequenceName
- sequenceName
- A text string specifying the name of the sequence to jump to.
DESCRIPTION
Unlike the <Insert Sequence> command, the <Jump Sequence> command jumps directly to the named sequence. The jumped-to sequence is treated as a separate entity in the guide file and is jumped to and returned from at the appropriate times in the calling sequence. Like the <Insert Sequence> command, the <Jump Sequence> command lets you reuse sequences that are common to one or more help topics. You also might use <Jump Sequence> commands within <If> and <End If> commands.SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Any sequence that uses <Jump Sequence> commands must have at least one panel that is guaranteed to be shown before the first <Jump Sequence> command. You should also show at least one panel between <Jump Sequence> commands.Any panels inserted by a <Jump Sequence> command do not apply toward a sequence's 32-panel limit.
You can use the <Jump Sequence> command if Guide Maker informs you that the current sequence exceeds limitations.
EXAMPLES
#sequence that is reused often <Define Sequence> "How do I use the tool bar?" <Panel> "tool bar:intro" <Panel> "tool bar:tools"<End Sequence>#sequence that jumps to another sequence <Define Sequence> "How do I create footnotes?" <Panel> "footnotes:intro" <Jump Sequence> "How do I use the tool bar?" <Panel> "footnotes:editing"<End Sequence>#sequence that jumps to a sequence depending on a condition <Define Sequence> "How do I spell-check a document?" <Panel> "spell-checking:intro" <If> NOT isDictionaryOpen() <Jump Sequence> "How do I open the dictionary?" <End If> <Panel> "spell-checking:options"<End Sequence>SEE ALSO
