Entry Macro Guidelines

When creating topic entry macros, follow these guidelines:

nYou can execute any macro listed in Chapter 15, “Help Macro Reference,” within a topic footnote; however, if the topic is to be displayed in a secondary window, the macro may be ignored or cause undesirable behavior.

nThe macro text can have as many as 512 characters, including any embedded spaces.

nYou can specify more than one macro to be executed by separating them with a semicolon or colon, as in the following example:

! ChangeButttonBinding("btn_contents", "JumpID(`hgcd.hlp', `acc_idx_hg')");EnableButton("btn_up");ChangeButttonBinding("btn_up", "JumpID(`cdcd.hlp', `hlpidx_idx_card')")
