7.1.2 Understanding the effects of mid-topic links

If your FrameMaker document features cross references to items other than titles of topics, be aware of the limitations this level of reference granularity imposes on the Help system.

Several of the HTML-based Help systems are not designed to support large files with many mid-topic links. These Help systems are intended for, and some are optimized for, single-topic files. In OmniHelp, mid-topic links cause problems with navigation; for example, the Prev/Next buttons do not work as expected. HTML Help, Eclipse Help, and JavaHelp also have trouble with mid-topic links. In HTML Help, for example, the TOC does not synchronize with the topic being displayed.
