Description Screen - Creating Hyperlinks

If the same hyperlink is created multiple times in the description, the corresponding relationship will only be shown once in the relationship screen.
    • The text for a hyperlink is the same as the topic name to which it refers. If the name of that topic is changed, the text for the hyperlink changes automatically (see also Edit Hyperlink). If the topic is removed, the hyperlink is converted to normal text.
    •  Due to performance issues, hyperlinks that are used in appendices for your Word publications will only be available 1 level deep.
