7.8.5.2 Using alert or alerttitle markers for embedded pop-ups

Instead of creating a pop-up topic, you can use an alert or alerttitle hypertext marker, and provide pop-up content in the text of the marker itself.

You designate a hotspot the same way as for other hypertext links; see §7.8.5.1 Using openlink and gotolink markers. Type the marker text in FrameMaker as a reference string consisting of the base file name, followed by Alert, followed by a number, starting with 0001 in each file. For example:

chap1.hlp Alert 0012

The pop-up text appears in the default format; you cannot specify a different format.

How to insert markers

To insert alert and alerttitle markers, see §32.1.2 Using markers to add links and instructions.
