Remarks

This property is usually set to True in the Contents topic type that is commonly used for the top-level style, such as Heading 1. Top-level topics often do not contain any text, appear only in TOC as book titles containing lower-level topics. Then it is often preferable that these (empty) topics are not shown in the help window when the user selects the corresponding book title.
