About expanding glossary hotspots
The Glossary Hotspot wizard finds glossary terms within topics and marks them in the topics. You can mark all terms
to convert to expanding hotspot when you generate or preview output.
Notes:
• Expanding glossary hotspots require Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. If they are used in a style, they require Internet
Explorer 5.0 or later. Netscape Navigator doesn't support expanding glossary hotspots.
• The Glossary panel is not supported in Oracle Help. Definitions appear inline instead of in a hotspot.
• The glossary appears in the printed documentation and appears at the end of the page.
• Control the hotspot appearance by modifying the glossary term and character style in the Styles editor (accessible
from the Stylesheets button in the Product Manager pod).
Add expanding glossary hotspots
❖
Do one of the following:
• Drag a term from the Glossary pod into a topic.
Use this method if the term doesn't occur in the topic, or if the term isn't in an ideal place to expand.
• In the Glossary pod, click the Glossary Hotspot Wizard button
The Glossary Hotspot wizard finds glossary terms within topics and marks them in the topics. You can mark all
terms to convert to expanding hotspot when you generate or preview output.
Preview a hotspot by double-clicking it in the Design Editor.
Update expanding glossary hotspots
The Glossary Hotspot wizard inserts markers for the terms defined in the selected glossary. It doesn't insert definitions
for terms in the topic. When you generate a preview or output, RoboHelp adds definitions for the terms. As a result,
topics always have the updated definitions for marked terms.
