Text Element

Description

A rich text property that allows you to enter the text of the topic. You can then set relationships to Style objects to define the typographical presentation of the text, to Hypertext Link objects to define links between topics, and to File objects for inserting graphics, pictures and other files in the published output.

The Text corresponds to the text field, on the Topic Text tab, of the Topic object. This element is the root of the Topic/Text structure.
