Hi Ken, I haven't spent much time yet using the documentation tools that are meant to be used under WorkBench as I have been creating my own set that works under http://scientificarts.com/worklife for its next release. The two approaches are complementary to each other... But perhaps I can suggest several possible reasons why your Function page does not contain the link you expected. ** The tools in WorkBench have not yet been rerun to create the true function page from the template that you created. ** The PacletInfo.m file has not yet been updated (this should presumably happen automatically if the preceding rerun of the tools has taken place) ** The updated package documentation along with its PacletInfo.m file has not yet been placed where Mathematica woudl find it ** The Paclet Manager has not been restarted (this can be done with a Mathematica command [see below] or will automatically happen if Mathematica is restarted. ** The PacletInfo.m file is not complete in some way and therefore does not give the Paclet Manager the needed information to add your function to its internal list of available function pages and their appropriate links. Take a look at the Documentation Center tutorial material that I wrote located at http://www.scientificarts.com/worklife/notebooks/ if you haven't already done so to see some of the structural aspects of Documentation Center materials. The command for restarting the Paclent Mannager is contained there. I Hope this helps...
