link

The <link> element defines a relationship to another topic. Links represent the types and roles of topics in a web of information, and therefore represent navigational links within that web. Links are typically sorted on output based on their attributes. The optional container elements for link (<linkpool> and <linklist>) allow authors to define groups with common attributes, or to preserve the authored sequence of links on output. Links placed in a <linkpool> may be rearranged for display purposes (combined with other local or map-based links); links in a <linklist> should be displayed in the order they are defined. Refer to those elements for additional explanation.

Example

<linkpool type="concept">
