9.8.3.2 Assigning a secondary window with a marker

To use a marker to force a jump from contents or index to a secondary window, insert a marker of type Window in the target topic. Supply the name of the secondary window as the content of the Window marker.

A Window marker in the first paragraph of a topic overrides any Window property assigned to that paragraph format, for jumps from both contents and index. See §9.8.3.1 Assigning a secondary window with a paragraph format.

Jumps from contents

If you place a Window marker in the first paragraph of a topic, a jump from the table of contents to that topic will load the topic in the secondary window named in the marker. Window markers in subsequent paragraphs are ignored for jumps from contents.

Jumps from index

For paragraphs after the first in a topic, whichever comes first, Window marker or paragraph assigned the Window property, determines which secondary window will be used for jumps from the index.
