Cross-Project Linking

It is possible to create links from one set of output files to another in modular output.  Regular topic links should be used for links within each set of output files.

The following shows how to create a link from one project called "HelpProject#2" to another called "HelpProject#1."

  1. Open HelpProject#1.
  2. Create a group named Modules. Assign a topic (the one you wish to link to) to that group. See Index and Groups Window Pane.
  3. Build the target, then close the project.
  4. Open HelpProject#2
  5. Create a group named Modules. This group will be empty (no topic will be assigned to it).
  6. Open a document, and select the desired link text. Create a link to the Modules group. See Creating Links.
  7. Build the target, then close the project.
  8. Open the hub project.
  9. Build the target.

Note You will need to create a group name for each cross-project link pair you create.
