Using Text Labels

In addition to apply character formatting to the topic text you can apply a label to parts of the topic text. Labels allow you to apply different character formatting for each of your configurations and you can change character formatting after finishing your documentation by simply changing label settings. You can also use labels to show parts of topic text in one configuration and omit it in other configurations. In addition you can use labels for recurring information types such as shortcut, menu paths and notes. This way you can insert images, add prefixes and change delimiters after finishing your documentation.
