Hello,
I've went through a few posts here and understood that generally any html function other than Bold will not work in the documentation. Is there another way I can add a link to my documentation in any way?
I've seen this question mark link on the bottom of every vi documentation (on a project I’m working on) but on every vi it takes me to the same address. Is it possible to change this per vi? If possible how do I do it?
This has troubled me for a while now, thanks in advance!

In the VI properties under documentation, change the 'help path' to your HTML file. This is per VI setting, so you can set a different file for each VI.

Easier then I thought, thanks.
Edit: Seems my work would be much faster if I could get the documentation part to recognise the rest of the html functions (because the alternative is to add over 100 html files to my file) Is there a way to do that?

Nope, for some reason NI choose to only implement the bold tags in the documentation of a VI. There are several ideas on the idea exchange you can vote for if you want more functionality.

Maybe to help you can set that HTML help information on each VI programatically using VI Server.
