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, add the name attribute and enter the text you wish to be a clickable link to the LinkText content.
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.
