Hot words are inline elements, which allow easily adding interactivity embedded in a text paragraph. Hot words consist of a hot word element, and a hot word popup element which is shown when the hot word’s event is triggered, according to its <Event>.
Hot words are similar to hot spots, but serve a specific purpose of triggering hot word popups on interaction with a segment of text.
To convert a piece of text into a hot word, select a segment of text, and use Home > Hot Word. Inserting a hot word without selecting a segment of text will append a hot word at the caret’s position.
