Topics in the SALOME Help system include a variety of navigation components including:
Related Topics buttons: When you click a Related Topics button, a pop-up menu opens that displays a list of topics you can go to. The topics are relevant to what you are currently reading in the right-hand pane or they cross-reference related information that you can go to. Click a topic from the pop-up and it opens in the right-hand pane.
Drop-down hotspots: Many topics include drop-down hotspots. This is clickable text (text links) that displays more information below the hotspot. You only need to click the hotspots you want to read. To close the text, click the hotspot again.
Expanding hotspots: Some topics include expanding hotspots. This kind of hotspot is a text link that displays information immediately following the text. You only have to click the hotspots you want more information about. To close the text, click the hotspot again.
Text-only popups: This kind of link is text that displays a pop-up window when clicked. The popup window displays brief information about a term or concept relevant to the topic you're currently reading. When you finish viewing the information, you click inside the pop-up window to close it.
Popups: When you click some links, the destination topic opens in a popup inside the same window that's open. It's like having two windows in one, only the focus is on the information in the popup. When you finish reading the information in the popup, you can close it from view or navigate to any of its links.
