7.8.3 Creating hotspots for jumps and pop-ups in WinHelp

To create a hotspot, in FrameMaker apply a dedicated hotspot character format to either of the following:

• the text of a cross reference

• text that contains a hypertext link.

Note:

If hotspot text is followed immediately by a space, when your WinHelp project is compiled the space disappears, even though it is present in the RTF output. The workaround is to make the space a hard space in FrameMaker.
