Abstract

Short description of the help volume

Syntax. 

   <metainfo>

       .

       .

       .

     <abstract>

     abstract text here ...

     <\abstract>

       .

       .

       .

   <\metainfo>

The abstract text should not contain HelpTag markup because the abstract may be read and displayed by applications that don't recognize the markup.

The <abstract> element is automatically assigned the ID string _abstract. An author-defined ID cannot be assigned. The _abstract ID can be used with the <link> element, but not with the <xref> element.

Example.  This markup briefly describes the contents of a help volume:

   <abstract>

   Online help for the HP VUE File Manager, Version 3.0.

   <\abstract>

Note.  When creating a link to an element within the <metainfo> element, be sure it is a type=Definition link. The following markup shows how to create a link to the abstract:

   <link hyperlink="_abstract" type=Definition>

   Choose this link for an abstract.<\link>
