printing child links

Unread post by Margaret Boeneke »

Hi, I want to automatically include links to all child topics from a particular topic to emphasize the additional information available. Is there a way to automatically generate this or do I create a link for each topic? Thanks!

Hi Margaret,

There's a feature for this: Help & Manual's copy/paste feature for the TOC is smart. It pastes different things depending on where you are pasting. When you copy and paste a TOC entry within the TOC it pastes an entire topic along with a TOC entry. When you past a TOC entry in a topic it creates a hyperlink to that topic.

You can create the kind of link list from the TOC like this: Select all the topics in the TOC you want to include in your link list using CTRL+Click (individual topics) and SHIFT+Click (blocks of topics). Then press CTRL+C to copy them to the clipboard. Then click in the editor where you want to insert the list and press CTRL+V to paste the list in.

Cool, no? 8)
