Generate the table of contents with chapter markers?

It has been a while since I had to install and create a table of contents for a long document of single file, but I'm sure that I created TOCs in this way in the past. Then, why the text in the Section markers will appear in the table of contents? It is even possible to generate a table of contents that contains text of article marker?

I use InDesign CS5 in Windows. I have a file single document I'm trying to generate a table of contents for. I designed a 16-page manual in an inDesign file that includes a cover page, table of contents page and seven "chapters."

I created a separate section for each 'chapter' and used Chapter markers in the top of the page master for chapter names. It's something I did in the past of syntactically long documents containing several chapters.

I put the first page of each 'chapter' as a new Section on the Pages panel. In numbering and Section Options for each page, I checked the Section getting started, Automatic Page numbering, the Style of Page numbering: 1,2,3,4... and in Section marker: I put the name of 'chapter' in the text box.

I've set up paragraph and character Styles and has used throughout my document. When I put in place the table of contents I created everything correctly, including a heading style that I used for all the sub lines in my file and my style of Section marker for chapter names.

When I insert the table of contents, generate headers sub with their page numbers, but the titles of the chapters which are chapter markers do not generate. Am I missing something or is it still possible to enter the text of chapter markers in a table of contents? I'm sure that he's worked in the past. Can anyone offer a solution for this?

Thank you

Looks like the markers section present only in the table of contents if they are on a document page. Try manually to the substitution of the frame.

    Master Pages are part of each document.

    You can import master pages from another document (i.e. a ' model') in your current document using the file > import > Formats... option and select layout from the list (deselect all others).

    If you have changed the current TOC for the problem of the Page Master on the left, then simply save the file and use the Edit > update book option for that OCD regenerated by using the new page templates.

  • [CS5 Server/JSX] Generate the table of contents at the beginning of the document

    Hello

    The following script generates a table of contents:

    
      myTOCStyle = myDocument.tocStyles.itemByName("TOC");
      myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item("A-Master");
      myTocPage = myDocument.pages.add(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, myMasterSpread);
      myIndexFrame = myDocument.textFrames.lastItem();
      myBounds = myIndexFrame.geometricBounds;
      myX1 = myBounds[1];
      myY1 = myBounds[0];
      myDocument.createTOC(myTOCStyle, true, undefined, [myX1, myY1]);
    
    

    When I run this Script on the InDesign CS5 server, it generates a table of contents, but it is not placed on the page just added at the beginning. It is placed on the first page containing the content where the table of contents is generated from. Also the added page at the beginning does not contain the elements of the master page, it's just a page of blanco.

    When I run this Script on InDesign CS5 to office, the table of contents are placed on the first page added with this script. Also, does this page contain master page items!

    How is it possible to place the table of contents (with overflow text) before the first page containing the content. The page that contains the table of contents should contain elements of the master page.

  • All my attempts so far to generate the table of contents for Kindle (.mobi) failed. Can anyone help?

    I used InDesign CC to create an epub file and the TOC and the Navigation bar appear perfectly in Adobe Digital Editions (version 3.0). Then I saved the file to the IDML format open InDesign CS6 and use the Kindle Plugin to create a mobi file. I use the same style of table materials used to create the epub file, but although Kindlegen validates the file, the table of contents is unable to generate. I've been on several discussion forums and many people express problems by having their TOC displayed in Kindle Previewer. Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Kindle requires a separate html file for OCD and even must be referenced in the guide in content.opf element. In your InDesign CC document, generate the table of contents on a page and make sure the option 'Make the anchor text to the source paragraph' is checked.

    Now export the EPUB 3 file. Open EPUB in Sigil (it's a free EPUB editor of Google). Menu Goto tools-> Table of contents-> generate HTML Table of contents. This creates a new xhtml file and automatically adds the element of guidance in content.opf like this:

    Save EPUB and open directly into Kindle Previewer. Table of contents option must be turned on now and should work.

    Please try and let me know if it works.

    Kind regards

  • Chapter numbers will appear in the table of contents with page numbers...

    First of all, thank you all so much for the display of the answers.  This forum is wonderful.

    I have a doc that needs to have chapter numbers appear with the page numbers in the table of contents.

    I insert the < $chapnum > and < $currentpagenum > in the footer and I get 1-1 appears.

    To include 1-1 in the table of contents, do I have to edit the referring Page, or is there another way.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Change the reference to the table of contents page to use the building block as well as the first page, which is <$chapnum>chapnum.<$pagenum>

  • Content filtering to display in the table of contents with Actions (possibly using ActionScript?)

    I have 7 Captivate and would like to know if it is possible to filter some slides of OCD.

    The point here is that they may not be static, but change the slides to show transparently based on the choice of the user.

    == Example ==

    You have a file containing below 3 slides captivate. (A, B, C)

    And each slide content is needed for the subject in []. (I, II, III)

    A [I, II AND III]

    B [II, III]

    C [I, III]

    Lets say the user wants to know about the topic-II.

    While the user should only see slides A and B.

    If the user wants to know on the subject-I, then only slides A and C are shown in the table of contents.

    == == End of example

    In my view, that's not possible with only using Captivate and research to achieve anyway. (for example. Load the captivate through Flash and control the captivate Flash with AS3 file).

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You have no control of this type on the default TOC THAT included with Captivate. You can have this control, if you create a custom table of contents and use advanced/variables actions. Advanced actions are converted on the duration of AS3 (for SWF) or JS (for HTML5). Since you talk about Flash, I assume you want SWF-output. I know a lot about system variables supplied, there may be some hidden variables that you can solve with AS3 or (better IMO) with JS, but only system variables for the table of contents is to lock or hide/show it (if in overlay).

  • How to keep the format setting when generating a table of contents

    Hello

    I have a superscript® in a title in a document that should be put in the Table of contents. When I generate the table of contents, I can't keep the format in the table of contents.

    I could cheat and manually change the, but there must be a way that remains with these properties whenever I have to regenerate the table of contents.

    No idea how?

    Kind regards.

    What version of FM?

    What the police?

    There are two separate issues here:

    1. If you are super as a character Format in the files of body, the format must be in character for the OCD catalogue, or the formatting is not applied.
    2. If you do this and get it display correctly in the table of contents, which will break the hyperlink linking it.

    The solution is usually to do great as characters of Unicode natively by exposing and not the character Formats.

  • Problem with the table of contents pages and books

    I use 8 HR and generate Webhelp.

    I created a project and had to change a few pages of table of contents and create TOC books instead. I deleted the pages and added books, with the same name. HR, it looks fine, but when I generate the table of contents for the page instead of the book. I tried to clear my cache in Internet Explorer, and the deletion of the page again. Still no help. I rebooted and even rebooted and still have the same thing. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Indeed if a book has nothing in it, it will not appear in the table of contents. When you think about it, it is very logical. Why would you want a book to appear if nothing was inside?

  • Remove the Table of contents of a Quiz

    Hello

    Is it possible to remove access to the training when the user passes a test? Looks like there must be a way...

    Dan

    Action Rod pointing to that is to assign the value 1 to the system variables cpLockTOC. Its default value is 0. It is not even necessary to have a tip action, at least if you're on a later version of Captivate because the system variable is not in the drop-down list of the accordion to Actions in the slide properties. A simple action on enter to the first question slide will do. Don't forget to switch it to 0 when you enter backstage after the quiz to allow access again. And the linear?

    It is also possible to hide the table of contents with another variable of system but only if you use the table of contents in overlay mode.

  • Additional paragraph in the Table of contents

    I have a table of contents implemented in a framework of three columns of text, and have it configured to balance columns. When I generate the table of contents, it gives me a return of extra paragraph at the end, which has degraded the balance of the column. New York fashion to solve this?

    The COT function always adds that for some reason any and it's annoying.

  • Has anyone who has worked with doc us MIL - STD and generated with the success of the page numbers in the table of contents?

    I'm creating a template using FrameMaker 7.2.

    MIL - STD dictates works package (such as chapters) page numbers in the format: 0001-1, 2-0001, 0002-1 and 2-0002, etc.

    The problem I encounter draws in this format of the page number in the table of contents generated.

    I used a variable on the Master Page, and generate page numbers in each package to work properly.

    I know that in point 7.2 of the FM, you cannot include a variable in a table of contents generated.

    So I tried changing the variable on the Master Page to text using a paragraph tag (WPnumber), but have not gotten it either works.

    Tried all the other stuff I could think of, too.

    In my view, a part of the problem is that FM cannot have leading zeros when you set the page number or chapter (understandable 99.9% of the time).

    If anyone has suggestions or solutions, I am very interested to hear.

    Thank you.

    1Editor - and puzzled

    I already manually put the zeros.

    I just want to be clear that strikes the zeros directly on the master page does NOT have to include in the table of contents. You then type in the context of the reference to the table of contents also. In addition, you must have separate template and reference pages for chapters 10, 11, etc., in order to obtain the number of zeros correctly.

    With my method, the zeros are introduced as part of the chapternumber itself, in the chapter number of the TEXT. You still have to type but only once for each file.

  • Manual large editions with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents?

    I publish major textbooks with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents? If I publish a small section of the manual then 2nd level entries appear as eruptions under the chapter name, but if I publish the manual in its entirety then level 2 headings are not at all. I would like them to appear as the eruptions in the table of contents, but I need to publish the manual as a whole in order to keep the cross references. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I think that this would make clearer - and it would skip and tables of contents of books under.

  • Question: adding prefixes to the table of contents chapter entries?

    Hello I would like to know if anyone can help understand me how to format Table of contents entries to include a prefix.

    I want to each chapter entry in my table of contents to include the prefixes of words Chapter 1, Chapter 2... etc.

    For example. Just to say that my first chapter is called "aseptic".

    Currently the aseptic 'A technical' chapter title is formatted with a paragraph style called "chapter title", and this paragraph style is included in the "Styles of Table of contents.

    So for the moment my OCD simply shows the words "One Technique aseptic" followed by the page number.

    I want that entry of table of contents to say: "Chapter 1 asepsis.

    But I don't want the words "Chapter 1" to appear on the title page of actual chapter. "»

    Also, I want to be able to add unique style to the prefixes (I guess with character styles). So that I can make the "Chapter 1"style a little differently to "Aseptic", while both appear on the same line.

    Is it possible to do? I know that I can just click on the table of contents, and then make the changes directly, but it's not ideal because if I click on "update the Table of contents" then all changes are lost. I want the added prefixes dynamically so that they remain in place even if chapter headings are changed in the future.

    Thanks for any help.

    Of course, I see no problem:
