Keywords Autolinking and Multi-Word Links

The Keywords Autolinking function can alter multi-word links in a document when those links include a keyword specified for automatic linking.

When you apply Keyword Autolinking to a text document that contains multi-word links, Linking plug-in (PDF) finds all words equal to the specified keyword and makes those words hyperlinks. When a keyword is contained in an existing multi-word link, the multi-word link is removed and a link for the keyword alone remains.

Table of contents items and other multi-word links in a document can be affected. If the keyword is found in the document text and it is already a link, the keyword linking action will delete that link and set a new link for the keyword.

If the keyword is found in the table of contents as part of a multi-word link, then the original hyperlink is removed and a new link is set on the specified keyword. As a result, only the single keyword is an active hyperlink, the rest of the multi-word TOC entry is not linked.
