Adjustment of layout of table of contents

• Generated table of contents contains errors in the sections

  I'm working on a large document that was created by someone else. When I try to update the table of contents, there are a few spelling mistakes that are not in the headings in the body of the document (I corrected, but the table of contents are acting as errors are still there).

  For example:

  In my paper on page 32, there is a section "Fieldbus Protocol" (he was previously misspelled, such as ' Protochasl ' and I fixed it)

  It shows in the generated table of contents: 32 Fieldbus Protochasthe < < so this is to show the 'old' spelling, even though I've updated the table of contents with the page layout > Update Table of contents command.

  Is there a code behind (like HTML) for InDesign text which is perceived by the TOC generator? It acts like it is looking 'old' versions of these positions.

  Thank you!

  are you sure that this section of paragraph style is used to build the table of contents?

  There may be some invisible paragraph style which is then used to generate a theTOC

  You should check the exact name of the paragraph style that was used in your table of contents

• Why is it I can't update a table of contents in Windows InDesign CS 5.5?

  I clicked to a table in the framework of the summary, but in my menu layout, "Update table of contents" is grayed.

  I "moved" my table of contents of an InDesign doc in a new doc, I created weeks ago. I can update in the old doc, but when it is copied into the new doc, the update option is no longer available.

  Why can't I've updated once it is in another doc so I can use its TOC styles & layout rather than to have to redefine those all over again?

  Thank you!

  TOC instructions are confusing, I agree.

  To avoid having a table of contents to fill your cursor when you already have a table of contents, place the text in text tool in the existing table of contents, and then choose layout > Update Table of contents.

• Is Acrobat Pro just for us. We have an employee handbook that needs editing. A part is current pdf, some of an earlier version. You want to get all in a manual, the table of contents automatically adjust and links to specific pages of the table of content

  Is Acrobat Pro just for us. We have an employee handbook that needs editing. A part is current pdf, some of an earlier version. You want to get all in a manual, the table of contents automatically adjust and links to specific pages of the table of contents.

  Acrobat Pro is certainly not the right tool for editing. You want to change the manual using the source - MS Word files for example. Once you have the full changes including OCD work as you want, Acrobat Pro is the tool to convert the source document to PDF format, and ensure the accessibility requirements of 508 - and preferably ISO 14289 (PDF/UA) - are met.

• Confused about the layout of the table of contents

  Hello

  I work in FM7 and I go through the manual for help on the table of contents page layout. More precisely what I can't understand is how to group entries in a list generated.

  I work in a book with a number of files; I'll have a TOC, LOF and MANY. In the table of contents what I want to do is entered from the Section and chapter group. In other words, I want in my table of contents:

  Section xx

  Chapter xx

  Section

  Section

  Section

  Chapter xx

  Section

  Section xx

  etc.

  I also tried to understand the inputs on the reference page to see if I understand the grouping of the way in which they are displayed on the page.

  Question - how do I? Do I need to format the entries in the reference page? Or is it another place. (This applies also to my LOF and BATCH)

  Advice appreciated.

  Carl

  Will you put a paragraph of the Section of each chapter title? If so, that is the problem - there should be only one paragraph of Section heading, in the chapter where the section actually starts. Succeeding chapters located in this section should not have a Section title.

  That's where you mix and match with the concept of "clustering" and the functioning of an Index.

  TOCs of work by selecting the actual paragraph for each specified tag - FM is not "roll up" all paragraphs in the Section title even if they are the same.

  If you need to have the text of the title of the Section repeated on each subsequent chapter early, I suggest make you a new paratag, for example "Section Repeater", and then not include this tag in your table of contents, of course. There are other methods to repeat the content, too, as the use of variables and markers, but let's not too confusing thread immediately.

• Problems tab layout form/Leader TOC (table of contents)

  BACKGROUND

  I found it impossible to the TOC format with Chief tabs as I've seen the procedure described in the many forum posts, books and elswehere. I am an intermediate user of FrameMaker 9 FM running on Windows XP Pro. I run the same setup on a House and office with the same problem machine.

  I am in the process of migration of large volumes of documentation of our company LaTek to FM and this issue proves to be insurmountable. I need to have complete control over this process, instead of "make do" with the default TOC.

  I spent three days studying the nuances of the issue, which usually leads me to some insight or model that allows me to solve the problem, or at least share some clues on the forums. However, in this case, FM either does not work like its supposed to, or it implements my changes of apparently arbitrarily. So I don't know if it's a bug or a user error. I have also experienced the occasional crash of FM during all this work, often it is preceded by the designer of paragraph gel window and refusing to change your mind within the window (basic, by default, etc.).

  THE PROBLEM

  Specifically, I have learned to manage the General formatting with the blocks of construction on the page "reference", but the Chief tabs I use for the page numbers almost never spread, unless I use the TOC example included with FM.

  I am sure that they are properly formatted, I even copied examples directly from files that I know (example FM files) work.

  When I manually implement the process, I insert the tab between the blocks of construction (without space), define a RAS right tab, double click on and choose tab Manager option. Then I go to view 'page of body', save the document and regenerate the table of contents. Generally, nothing happens. Occasionally, after regeneration several times or by creating a table of contents fresh, some of the changes magically spread.

  I even tried to import the format of another table of contents, which doesn't seem to work randomly. Especially not.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Douglas

  You have set your tab outside the text frame (x6.25 ""). The maximum setting is only 4,625 ". The tab stops are within the context of the text block, not by the value of the leaders on the top.

• Is it possible to customize the sensitive presentation - sequence of the table of contents, Index, tabs filter?

  Hello

  I use RoboHelp 2015 and reactive production layout, I need to rearrange these tabs. I want the tab of filtering of dynamic content to be displayed before the table of contents.

  Is it possible to re - sequence tab filters before tab table of contents by making some backend work in CSS or code?

  

  Or the other way improved - if we select filters say - sales, then sales related subjects should be displayed (rather extended below - just like the expansion of text).

  Is it possible to customize the sensitive provision in this way?

  --

  Thank you

  Christophe

  It is possible through the HTML code. In Notepad, open the file "Topic.slp". On line 35, you will see a list of links:

  

  You can cut and paste the link to get the correct order. The first tag appears on the left side. Please be sure to cut and paste the entire link ''.

• Title chapter works on numbered list, but does not redial in Table of contents

  I'm doing a long document and put each chapter in a separate file.

  I use the chapter number variable in the title of the chapter and bullet styles is used in the heading and numbered lists set to ^ h ^ #^ t. It works very well in all the chapters.

  For example:

  Chapter 1

  1.0 header of a zero with the numbered list style

  Copy copy copy

  1.1 header a numbered list style

  Copy copy copy

  1.2 header a numbered list style

  and so on

  Chapter 2

  2.0 header with zero style

  Copy copy copy

  2.1 header a numbered list style

  Copy copy copy

  2.2 header a numbered list style

  and so on

  BUT when I create the table of contents and want the header of those who are listed, they appear like this

  1.0 header of... 1

  1.1 header... 5

  1.2 header of... 7

  1.3 header of... 9 (this should be the 2.0 header)

  1.4 header of... 12 (it should be 2.1 header)

  1.5 header of... 13 (this should be the heading 2.2)

  How to make the table of contents list the correct numbering, using the chapter title variable that is used in each file in the book?

  Thank you

  Maryann

  Okay, I think that I have now.

  1. Open the table of contents
  2. Layout > Table of contents
  3. Changing the shape of paragraphs numbered to include the full paragraph, OK
     
  4. If it does not, you will have duplicate numbers, but the new set is correct.
  5. If so, window > Styles
  6. Edit the table of contents and change the Type of list to none.
  7. Update the table of contents once more

  Looking forward to hear words that's it.

• Duplicate sections throughout the table of contents after generating the HTML5 multiscreen output

  Use: RoboHelp 10, version 10.0.0.287

  Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. click on file > create > main layout (Multiscreen_HTML5)

  2 al ' Generate window click on [Save and Generate]

  3. wait

  4. click on [view results]

  5 results show swathes of the table of contents reproduced in other sections.  10 more times to repeat the generation before that the entire table of contents points are correct and I can publish.  This is not preventing me from doing the job, but it's certainly a time killer.

  Background: I inherited a working version.  I did not create it.  I have more knowledge of the HTML language, but I'm not a developer.  I didn't upgrade beyond RH10 option.  I have studied this many times, but have not been able to find a solution.  The only other thing I've seen sometimes are error messages related to the toctree.js file, but I still don't understand those.  Even when I have not, this past yet, but I have included this error just in case it may be related, although I suspect that it is a separate issue.  I don't currently have the line in the js file because this sample is old and I have not seen the question at least a month.

  Other Notes: I've seen a few posts on a similar question in the printed version, but, I do not have a printed version.  I don't know if that makes a difference, and do I know if anyone in the past that put in place or even where to go to watch.

  

  

  Try to move the project to somewhere that the path is not so long and generate a new folder.

• Cannot change the table of Contents Page icons in RH10

  I adapted successfully table of Contents Page icons in the previous versions, but in RH10, option seems to be missing. After past the method as well as help boards & Forums, I have pod TOC page right-click, choose Properties, Advanced tab, but once there all I see are the image and comment options. There is no option to change the icon of the automobile to a different style in a drop-down list (because I expected to see under Advanced). My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Either by the way, I used this feature in the past to indicate a subject that has new features or topics of a different nature.

  Hello

  I have RH10 in front of me at the moment, so I paint entirely from memory on this.

  When you look at your single Source Layouts pod, which is the main provision on?

  If it is not configured for Microsoft HTML Help, find this layout and right click. Then propose that it be the main provision. Once you do this, I'd be willing to bet a dollar against a doughnut that you will now see the option to change the icons.

  See you soon... Rick

• RoboHelp 2015 (12.0.2.384): The search returns topics do not are included in the table of contents

  ENVIRONMENT: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 8.00 GB of RAM, 64 - bit OS, Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Acrobat Reader DC 2015.017.20050

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

  • A single RoboHelp HTML project with three exits. One of the outputs is a 'validation' reference that has its own Table of contents.
  • Validation reference Table of contents contains a subset of the subjects in the main help system. For example, the help system main table of contents contains a folder named 'Administration '. This folder is not in the table of contents of reference for Validation.
  • The reference of Validation is displayed on a public web site. Therefore, we applied the tag "Non_public_info" contained in the topics shared that we do not want to appear on the public website.
  • WebHelp parameters are:
    • Validation reference TOC
    • No map file, no sequence to browse
    • Conditional compilation expression: NOT_Non_public_info_AND_NOT_StyleGuidelines_AND_NOT_TRP (we keep our Style rules in the project to facilitate access during development. TRP content must be rejected because it was not released.)
    • Exclude non referenced topics of output is selected.
    • Search options. Only 'Show Total number of search results' and 'View AND search Option in outputs' are selected.
  • After generating the WebHelp, we remove the files that we don't want (RoboHelp generates empty folders, even if the files are not in the table of contents.)

  PROBLEM: A search in the help of Validation reference reveals the topics that we think should not be included because the subjects themselves are not in the table of contents of Validation reference. For example, the section "Data quality analysis" is in the main table of contents help, but not in the table of contents of reference for Validation. Therefore, we do not expect the topic appears in the search results pane at all. But he does. When the user clicks on the subject, the "Resource not found" message appears.

  Nothing shows the topic Style_Guidelines because the StyleGuidelines label conditional construction applies to the entire folder and the "Style guidelines" book in the main table of contents. (Same thing for the TRP folder).

  QUESTION: Why are topics which are not in the table of contents and whose records are not in the project at all appearing in the WebHelp during a search? We need to rewrite the expression of conditional compilation or establish conditions differently. We assume not have topics in the table of contents, not including the topics not referenced in the output, and remove empty folders would be the way to go. Any help is welcome!

  Thank you very much.

  Carol Levie

  The table of contents does not control what ends up in the output for output online. All content tagged and tagged content which is not excluded by the expression of construction will be included. The parameter 'Exclude topics not referenced output' more exclude all subjects which are not in the table of contents AND are not related to any topic which is included in the output.

  On the other hand, for the print output the table of contents control which is found in the output. I think that it will fire a lot of people.

  If you generate the help and that you do not remove the unwanted files, do you still have the error? If this isn't the case, you know that the topic is referenced somewhere in the content of the reference of the Validation.

  Here is the help of RH11. I can't imagine it would have changed, but you could do a search to verify a second time for RH2015.

  Exclude output not referenced topics

  Select this option to exclude any topic that exists in the project, but is not the default theme in page layout or is not referenced table of selected contents, index or sequence to browse, or any referenced subject.

  Note: RoboHelp shows the topics not referenced that are excluded from the output in the output view module.

  Overset text indicates that you have a text in one or several images which does not appear anywhere in a document. Double-click the red light at the bottom of the document window to open the preflight Panel. Click on the triangles to expose problems. This file has two instances of overset text. Click on the page number on the far right access to one of the examples of problem:

  

  Overset text icon is one more red in the lower right of the frame.

  

  There was no place to make this framework any longer, so I've added columns and now all the text fits. A port to clear signals the end of the document. The preflight panel shows now only remaining error, I would set the same way.

  

  The table of contents can generate very well with overset text, both positions are visible. But you're not finished with the layout until you have solved all the problems of overset text, InDesign tries to help by alerting you of the situation.
