Working with <LinkText>

The <LinkText> element is a combination of mixed content blocks that can be linked in other places within the same document via the <LinkReference> element, which can exist inside other mixed content elements. <LinkText> has the attributes LinkName and name that allow linking via the context menu. When the document is executed, the name is displayed.

  1. Insert the LinkText element as a child of a valid parent (Prolog, Section, Condition, etc).
  2. Add a linkName attribute to the LinkText element and give it a meaninful name. This is the name that you will look for when linking to this content.
  3. Add a name attribute to the LinkText element. Remember, this is the text that is displayed when the document is executed.
  4. Within the location you want to link from, insert a LinkReference element.
  5. To the LinkReference element add the linkName attribute, then double-click the NO VALUE text and enter the same linkName value created for the LinkText linkName value in step 2.
  6. Also to the LinkReference, perform the following:
    • Add the name attribute and enter the text you wish to be a clickable link to the LinkText content.
    • Add the altTagging attribute and set it to "Yes".
When the document is executed, the LinkReference displays its name attribute content as a clickable link, that when selected brings you to the content of the LinkText.
