How insert/edit a table of contents in the Bookmap?

Hi all

I am quite puzzled, how to use a bookmap to create a full PDF with table of contents to FM9? Everyone (well almost...) wants to OCD but I found nothing in the help and did not try it myself. It seems that I would need to insert a table of contents in the frontmatter section.

Please excuse if there is already a thread, a link would be useful I have search but can't find this problem in the forum. Maybe it's so simple that I'm the only guy to have problems.

I also read in FM10 help but found nothing there either. All information is available from adobe at all? Update to FM10 would be an option if needed.

Hi Robert...

FM-DITA (any version) does not support the automatic generation of a table of contents, Index, etc. a bookmap book lists entry. To create a generated list, you must manually add this element in the generated directory file and regenerate your book. You'll want to do it anyway so that you can assign paging and numbering and apply special models. This procedure is still the best way to manage the map of generating the address of the DITA standard FM...

Other hand (here is the sales pitch)... If you use DITA-FMx, it is provided automatically. Once you have set up the INI file of book-building with the properties and characteristics in the book, lists of books that add you to the bookmap will become good listings and all your pagination and numbering is applied correctly (in addition to loads of other features).

  • How to make a table of contents reflects the document formatting?

    I use a table of contents for a long document. In the document, some special words - the titles of the texts that I write about - italic. But when they appear in the Table of contents, they are not. Part of the table of contents and problematic subheadings are shown in the attached images. I can do all the headings / subheadings italics, but I don't seem to be able to reformat the individual words, I can find no option for the table of contents to reflect the formatting of the titles themselves.

  • How to change a table of contents which originally from framemaker but we import is no longer the wire

    I apologize in advance because I'm a beginner user of robohelp. We had a framemaker file and pulled us in Robohelp. The table of contents generated quite well. But, for several reasons, mainly about how robohelp destroyed imported images from framemaker, we're now just edit the files in robohelp. I added a few items I want to appear in the output of webpro in the left navigation, but I can't understand how do. I'm sure whoever decided to address this need for more details but it seems that each technology author I know don't use robohelp. Help... robos, wherever you are...

    Hello

    The table of contents in RoboHelp are just a file. Basically, you open the editor table of contents as the first step. Usually, he came within a folder for the table of contents icon in your project manager. It is enough to click plus the sign or double-click with the record of the Table of contents. And then double-click the actual TOC to open the table of contents Editor.

    From here you insert, delete, or rearrange the books and Pages as you want. A simple way to add items to the table of contents must drag topics from the list of topics or the project manager in the table of contents Editor. Once you have done this, you can change the verbiage of the books in the table of contents and Pages.

    To create a book, you can use the icons at the top of the table of contents Editor, or you can right-click in the table of contents Editor.

    Hope this helps. If you need more, just ask!

  • How to create a Table of contents of a book as opposed to a single document?

    I'm working on a book with several chapters. Each chapter is a separate document joined as well as the rest of the book in InDesign. I have a table of contents in each document, and the hyperlink works very well when the document is exported to PDF. However, I was unable to create a single comprehensive contents table on the front of the book before Chapter 1. I tried everything I know how to create a table of contents for a single document, but that does not work for me with so many documents in the book. Is there something I missed? I'd appreciate any help in this regard.

    In the Options section of the Table of contents dialog box, there is a checkbox: Include book of Documents.

    What is checked, he must analyze each document in a book for styles to be used in the creation of the table of contents.

  • How to create a table of contents of several levels?

    How to create a table of contents of several levels, or at least a TOC of two levels, so that when you click on the sign '+' or something similar to the first level, the second level will increase?

    Select the item/s from the list Table of contents, and then use the arrows that will apear at the bottom of the skin Editor to move them to the right.  This will cause a new point TOC to appear as a cap for all items indented beneath it.

    Be aware that during the execution by clicking on this article of the topic does not operate the game to slide under him.  There is no that expand the group to show slides of the child. You will then need to click on the first slide of the child in the group to trigger playback.  Personally I don't like the way it works, but that's how it is.  Register a feature (like me) request if you want that it works differently in a future version of Captivate.

  • How can I display the table of contents for the iPod Touch to 6

    When I opened first of all iPod Touch Users' Guide, I used the table of contents (TOC) to locate and access sections in the manual. But, after looking through the manual for awhile, I tried to return to the table of contents, but it wasn't there! I have tried various things to see if the table of contents are being hidden, or if in some way, it has been deleted. Anyone can shed light on this mysterious event?

  • How hide the table of contents in the body of an e-book?

    Hey people, I'm kind of a weird request. Do not forget that everything I know about InDesign, I taught myself for a month, so I can miss major somethng.

    As an intern, I am creating ebooks and I have to make sure that those I create the same look as the ebooks previously created for my employer (better yet, I had to do it from scratch!). In their previous ebooks (EPUB file format) the table of contents posted by the ereader clearly indicates a specific style of OCD was used to create (he titles and subtitles, so it is not just the default style that draws from the file names), BUT there is NO table of contents anywhere in the body of the ebook itself. There is also no blank page where a table of contents can be hidden with a hidden layer.

    I created a table of contents to match style to them, but I can't it appears in the drop-down menu Styles TOC when I go to export EPUB book file unless the document of the table of contents is also included in the book file, and as I said, I can't get the table of contents in the body of the ebook itself just in the menu that is displayed by an ereader.

    Any advice?

    Did you use dialogue style of content Table to create a new style of table of contents? If so, then the new table of contents style must appear in the drop-down list TOC Style selected in the dialog box in the Navigation options to export EPUB.

    Kind regards

  • Indented in the table of contents is not retained in the table of contents of the document

    Hi all

    I use RH7 on a Windows XP Professional platform.

    I am generating documentation and indentation in the table of contents generated in the document is not the same, not even close, as the project.

    I tried to use HTML heading levels maintain checkbox, but while titles fonts are better, indentation in the table of contents for the document is getting worse.

    When I disable this checkbox, it will give me a decent indentation in the table of contents, however the fonts used for headings in the document are sometimes more small then one used for normal text.

    Does anyone has an idea how I could fix it? I don't want to do too much formatting in the Word document either, because it takes a long time.

    Thank you

    Thus in the document that you want to book either title 1 and 2 book 2 and in the table of contents you want this?

    As you can see, this is what I have in the TOC and the body is as described above.

    If you select HTML to maintain levels, you will always get the above with the titles of books but third topic will become a heading 1, as it should with this option checked.

    I maps to a Word template where the TOC styles are defined to be indented as above. Maybe you have to match to a Word template, or if you are, you just need to tweek styles in it.

  • Why does my merged project display 2 table of contents for the first project/start?

    I use RH8 and windows 7 and generate Webhelp

    When I generate my merged project I get 2 table of contents of the first project. When I click on other merged projects disappears from the table of contents 2nd and all is well.

    Also, I can't return to my first / start window.

    Here is what I created:

    Main folder

    Parent

    Children

    Project 1 (this is my start/welcome page)

    Project 2

    Project 3

    Project 4

    My Parent file in the table of contents contains new projects and looks like this:

    Project 1

    Project 2

    Project 3

    Project 4

    The only section in the parent file is empty and I put in the following redirection according to the instructions on the site grainge:

    "< meta http-equiv ="refresh"content="0;url=./mergedprojects/project1/project1.htm "/ >

    How stop the TOC 2 on the first page of the project start and how do I display so I can access it later.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Pat

    The start page is not a topic. This is what opens the three components and the topic you see in that is the default theme.

    By default, HR takes the name of your project and which initially applies the page so if your project is called redrabbit, the start page will be redrabbit.htm.

    Many authors can call the redrabbit of the theme by default as it is the name of the project and it seems logical.

    Problem is when the wizard attempts to use it as the default value for the start page, the name is used for the number 1 is added.

    This means that you end up with redrabbit and redrabbit1. If you look in the wizard, you will see the name of the start page, first on the ground. You do not redirect, that redirect you to the default topic that is longer than down in the page of the wizard. The index is that the field is called the default theme.

  • Table of contents of the printed Documentation

    How can I specify the location of the table of contents in the printed documentation? I would like it to appear after the title page, but it still appears before her.

    It's true. The title page which is created by the printed documentation is a default start page that you have little control over. If you imported a word document that already contains a title page that does not appear before the table of contents because the HR doesn't recognize it as such. Those of us who create print usually do as you describe. We create a generic title page that is stored in a separate word file. Then we generate the output and copy the frontispiece. You need to remove the title page of the printed good documentation process, otherwise you'll end up with both of them! I hope this helps.

  • Table of contents in the pdf documentation

    Hi people,
    It's me again, hehe.
    I tried to make a printed pdf documentation for an already existing RoboHelp project, and points to the table of contents are totally weird. Odd in what sense? I have the major points of the content mentioned briefly, or not at all, but they are in the normal TOC, however the 'License agreement' subject is detailed point by point, and I have no need that.
    My question is, does anyone know where the content of the table of contents in the printed PDF documentation could be configured?
    Everything works now nice and dandy outside this little thing, and I would like to have straightened out.
    Thanks guys,.
    Bogdan

    That's what I thought too, but every time that I was trying to make the documentation in pdf format, I received a short table of contents with too much insistence on the license agreement, which I do not remember asking.
    I tried to find where I could control that, and I've not found anything, I posted this topic in the forum while waiting for someone to give me some advice.
    As I was still experimenting more, I thought about the .doc where I can easily change the table of contents as I have Office installed on my system.
    As I was trying that, I forgot to remove the check mark from 'create pdf' and I got both the doc and pdf documentation. To my surprise I discovered that two documents, being identical to the content, more in the table of contents that my previous pdf was, showed well I don't change anything in the settings, because I have not found anything to change.
    So I opted for the creation of the doc, edit the table of contents (it still has too much emphasis on the license agreement, but I have enough focus on other subjects now) and export to PDF doc.
    It's the whole story.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi Julie,.

    You can try the project--> TOC--> Info it will open a dialog box where you can enter information about your organization, as well as a logo.

    In addition, if you wish, you can change a TOC and their default legend items.

    To do this, close Captivate.

    Open Notepad-

    Paste below-

    [TOCStrings]

    SlideTitle = Module name

    Time = time

    Status = status

    MoreInfo = my info

    Clear = Wipe

    ClearToolTip = State of Wipe

    BookMarkToolTip = book-marking

    NoSearch = String not found

    CurrTime = what

  • Table of contents for the issue of the ePub

    InDesign CS5; Mac OS 10.6.5

    When I export my TOC document to ePub, do not show the table of contents, only the last two pages with text and an image.

    The table of contents defined paragraph styles. I think I have my correct export settings.

    Help to isolate this problem is appreciated.

    Note: Display of other documents in the book via ePub export display correctly, although the book must refine to ePub format.

    Also, when I tried to export the entire book through the book panel, InDesign starts export, but no activity in the progress bar. I have to force quit to get out of the endless loop. Then when I restart InDesign, Untitled files begin to open, 10, 20 and so on. So, I have to manually close each file.

    I suspect that OCD is causing this issue.

    Yes, that's correct. Once I've re-recorded old files "CS" in the new version, including the file book. Everything worked well.

    And I don't mean just making a backup (thinking that will result in savings in the current version) I want to talk about a backup - as in another folder in a different location... ie you Office

  • Several table of contents in the document

    Hello

    I'm new in the FM8. I recently received a document FM8. The structure of the document is:

    Each document file corresponds to a chapter. Each chapter has a table of contents for its secondary headings and paragraphs.

    Table of contents (here is the chapter of 1 to 10, that chapters)

    Is then Chapter 1 includes a table of contents with all subtitles and paragraphs (for example 1.1, 1.1.1 and so on)

    Chapter 2-10 similarly.

    This isn't everything.

    Chapter 7, 8, 9 and 10 are placed in different folders, corresponding with the title of chapters. The rest of them (Chapter 1 to 6) are placed in the same folder.

    For chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10, I managed to update the second table of contents (which contains subtitles and subsections - for example 1.1, 1.1.1 etc..)

    There is in the main folder that contains the rest of the chapters of the files of table of contents for the main Table of contents and the contents of subeahds and paragraohs corresponding to each chapter. Here, I have problems with their updated because when I opened the book and update only the main table of contents will be updated. The problem appears when I create a PDF file. Because after the creation of PDF when I click on a chapter name in the table of contents it will bring me to the chapter I want to but when I click on the table of contents for subtitles/paragraphs that has nothing happened, except for chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10.

    So, to be more explicit.

    When I click on Chapter 7 in format pdf, acrobat will send me to Chapter 7 where I find another OCD where if I click subead 7.3 that he send me to the page that includes the chapter 7.3. On the contrary if I click on Chapter 4 it will bring me to the page corresponding to Chapter 4, but if I click subtitle 4.3 that nothing will happen.

    I will attach an example of this PDF.

    The structure of the file looks like this:

    Chapter 7 the folder:

    -Book

    -The TOC file Chapter 7

    -Chapter 7 (same goes for Chapter 8, 9 and 10)

    The project folder

    -Book (it contains all files from Chapter 1 to 10)

    -File table of contents (the main table of contents)

    -Files table of contents of the chapters

    -files of the chapters

    Thank you. Any help will be appreciated.

    Excuse my poor English writing.
