Why can't the compiler find my hot text?

GuideMaker requires that you place a <hot text> command immediately before the line that contains the hot text. When GuideMaker parses a <hot text> command, it looks in the next logical line of the source file, and complains if the hot text is not found in that line.

For example, if there is hot text in the second paragraph of your panel, the <hot text> command must be placed on the line above that second paragraph. Placing it at the beginning of the panel text will cause a compiler warning to be issued.
