How do I create hyperlinks to the online Help Browser?

There are five kinds of Help Browser Button styles: MainBookLink, AddOnsLink, GettingStartedLink, RefGuideLink, and OtherInformationLink. These point the hyperlink to these five sections of the Help Browser.

The ButtonData option determines where to go in that section. The ButtonData takes a list of one or two strings. The first string is the document name as shown in the “Go to” field of the Help Browser. The second (and optional) string points the hyperlink to the cell with that CellTag in the selected document.

If no ButtonData option is given, then the ButtonContents are used for the ButtonData. The cell created by the following piece of code will point to the AddOns → Standard Packages → Algebra → Quaternians in the Help Browser.

The following piece of code will also point to the same location in the Help Browser.

To point to the cell with a CellTag of 1.24 in this particular document, you can use the following expression.
