The Group and Invisible Group hot spots add the topic containing the hot spot to a group or list of groups. This allows the topic to become a destination for a group link. The difference between the two hot spot types is that the text of the Invisible Group hot spot does not appear in the help target.
The Behavior property of these hot spot types is set to Group. The following predefined styles have this Behavior, and the corresponding HTML tag or Word Style can be used when formatting without the D2HML Styles toolbar:
