3.  LT Objects

3.1 Popup Windows

The Popup Window is a very powerful and flexible feature. It allows you to create clear and easy-to-read  pages with a lot of comments, illustrations and other related materials which don't take up space and appear on demand. In the simplest case it can be used as an analog of Tip Text, but unlike Tip Text, Popup Window text is much more visible and stays on the screen as long as the user wants it to. In a more complex case, it can be a fully functioning web page loaded with all the features provided by LTeditor. Four types of Popup Windows can be created:

Dynamic / PointAny comments can be placed  here       Static / Point       To be, or not to be:  that is the question        

 Yes.
 No.
 Alas, poor Yorick!
 Infinitive is OK here.
 All of the above.
      Dynamic / Click Any comments can be placed  here       Static / Click
