Abstract
A link specification and an electronic manual is provided to an auto linker which in conjunction with a run-time media engine provides hyperlinked manuals. The auto linker comprises a link generator for generating links and a link verifier for checking and modifying the links that are generated. The run-time media engine comprises an event handler and a script interpreter and handles the user interaction. Through the interaction of the hyperlinks from the auto linker with the run-time media engine the hyperlinked manuals are produced.
