 :hpt.
 
The :hpt tag starts hypertext. Hypertext is a word or phrase that is linked
to a section, footnote, or spot reference. The link lets the user choose the
hypertext and display the referenced section, footnote, or spot. The user
chooses hypertext by clicking it with the mouse or by selecting it with the
TAB key and pressing the ENTER key. To identify hypertext, the system
displays it using the help highlight color.
 
In the help source file, the hypertext starts with the :hpt tag and ends
with the :ehpt tag. The hypertext should be followed immediately by a
reference tag, such as a :hdref, :fnref, or :spotref tag.
 
This tag does not use parameters.
 
Example
 
This example uses the :hpt and :ehpt tags to define the hypertext phrase
"key labels":
 
    Different keyboards may have different
    :hpt.key labels:ehpt.:fnref refid=keylabel.
