TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have been told by a fellow writer in my department that when you have web
links on a help page that the standard is to open this link in an external
browser as opposed to opening up right in the online help. I questioned her
about it and she basically said that is how it is done. Can someone tell me
why if this is correct?
