Several Tables of contents, ePub TOC navigation

• EPUB TOC navigation question

  Only, I formatted my first ebook with InDesign and it exported to EPUB with the help of InDesign CS5.5 of Lynda.com for series EPUB. I also have it converted to the domain .mobi for Kindle. I wonder on is with TOC navigation. In its current form of each new chapter has a chapter number image, below and to the chapter title under the picture. The number and title are text and are used to create the table of contents for navigation using titles for table of contents entries names and the number of page breaks. Everything has worked very well, but as the .mobi will not allow embedding fonts lose part of beautiful typography associated with this piece. I've seen other ebooks on Kindle that use images for each chapter title. I would like to be able to do this but I'm not sure how to create the table of contents navigation without any text styled to point to each area of the chapter title. The internal table of contents is very well that it is just a page of links to the file .html for each chapter in my InDesign book file. I like to just be able to create my chapter headings in Illustrator and save comme.png/.jpeg to save the typography, but always be able so that InDesign can create a functional navigation OCD.

  Here's what I do. I type the title of this chapter at the top of the page, the way I would like it to appear in the table of contents. I assign it to a paragraph style that is only used for this text. After export, I opened the EPUB in Sigil and edit the CSS. Find the section h1 for the paragraph style, that you have created and change it to have a very small police and a white color. This will make invisible on almost all the eReaders, yet always 'present' and able to be included in the table of contents. I call my style "cover" (because the first time I use, is to write the "lid" over the image of the cover on the first page).

  {H1. Cover}

  do-family: "Times New Roman";

  font size: 0.1em;

  line-height: 0.2em;

  text-align: center;

  color: #FCFCFC;

• Is it possible to implement the sequences to browse to project with several tables of contents and conditionalized modules

  I use RoboHelp 9 with WebHelp output.

  I have five outings, which one contains help for common functions, while the other four contain help for modules under license. When a user opens a module under license assistance, the user sees the soul help and authorized assistance. In addition, the files are conditionalized so that the unauthorized search a help licensed module brings nothing.

  I have been solving problems with the previous topic and the next topic which, thanks William, I learned are associated with browse sequences. After having tried various configurations, I have a few questions:

  • HR support a sequence to travel alone in a project, even when the project has several outputs & fakes?
  • If HR supports a sequence to browse only, does that mean that there is no way to create a unique navigation for each separate output sequence?
  • If HR supports several sequences of travel, which is the workflow?

  I also maintain a table of 'master' contents which contains all the modules, frequent and without a license. What I've done for now is to autocreate a browse sequence based on the table of contents "master." When I generate the output of a module under license, which is conditionalized, I only see the table of contents for this module and, therefore, can only travel between books and subbooks for this add-on. I also checked that the subjects that do not appear in the module conditionalized as for another module licensed, do not appear in the list of search results either.

  You also questions about the functional differences between WebHelp and WebHelp Pro, so let me explain.

  I know only two major differences other than (the additional benefits of analytical feedback reports) and the management of 'Zones' with authentication in RoboHelp Server.

  1. The behavior of browse sequences as explained above
  2. The fact that the categories of content are not supported in WebHelp Pro for this latest version 9.

  In regards to sequences to browse you try to anticipate the various modules (licensed, etc.): multiple browse sequences are included in an single . File BRS. Sequences are defined in the XML code in the single file.

  As a solution (for WebHelp and WebHelp Pro), you could create a Help.brs of the NPM. that you have already created a module; then backup and archive. Then create a change for the different module before generating again. The Help.brs of the NPM. will need to have the same name as your project, so you will have to manage the .brs desired file in the project folder when you build this version. All your other choices (table of contents, Index, conditional tags, etc) remains the same for the respective modules.

  Finally, I notice that you generate apparently WebHelp Pro right now even if you are not published on the server of HR? This is really not the best practice. You must generate WebHelp plain for a web server that has no HR server on it (even if you can be getting away with it). Regarding your concern about "breaking" something; each output is placed in another! SSL! folder automatically when you build, so you should be able to generate WebHelp without interfering with the release of WebHelp Pro. Then, you can republish on the HR using WebHelp Pro Server, whenever the server is ready.

• Several Tables of contents

  I'm working on a publication that includes a table of contents, a list of figures and list of tables.

  I don't seem to be able to get the entries "List of figures" and "List of tables" to include in the table of contents. Can anyone help with this?

  I want also the titles of chart and the table to be included as entries under "List of figures" and a "list of tables" in the interactive PDF, I generate.

  (I use ID 5.5)

  Now that I understand what the PDF bookmarks, you have a problem with, I agree with Peter.

  There is no concept of TOCs nested when creating PDF bookmarks. You will need manually create the subbookmarks for the tables of secondary raw materials in Acrobat, I'm afraid.

• 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.

• issue TOC navigation EPUB

  InDesign CC 2014; OS 10.9.4

  I can't get a hidden layer, with style is applied in the dialog Table of contents, to export to epub TOC navigation.  When she shows, it exports perfectly, but not when the layer is hidden.

  Yes, everything that will not work because the table of contents of the navigation don't be built not quite the way you think it is.

  OCD "impression", which is what you get when you run the function Table of contents and the place in history resulting in InDesign, returns to export as any other story. Although we treat it specially in some respects, what we don't, is that history to create the table of contents of the Navigation EPUB.

  This table of contents is generated on the fly during export, using a variety of methods, one that is use a table of contents Style. If you have not changed printing 'TOC' then both go out pretty much the same, but they are independent.

  At present, the only way to get what you do is to edit the EPUB after exporting with a tool appropriate, such as oxygen.

  What you are trying to accomplish is quite reasonable, we just do not offer support for that in InDesign at this time.

• Adding a button before the button table of contents in a WebHelp Pro navigation bar

  My customer wants to add a "Home" button to the left of the button table of contents in the navigation bar. I can button ad to the right of the 'standard' buttons: table of contents, search, print, and glossary, but even if I go and edit the skn file and add the 'Home' botton before the table of contents one, it always displays to the right. Is that all that I'm missing?

  Hello

  I have HR server, so it's kinda a guess but I think as a method of work.

  Change the order of the toolbar in the whstart.js file.

  1. in the whstart.js file, go to line 184 (RH10), it has the text ElseIf (nMsgId == WH_MSG_TOOLBARORDER).

  2. we will find the opening brace, add the following code:

  oMsg.oParam = "CUSTOM" TOC | GLO | IDX | FTS | blackblock | searchform | banner ";

  Returns false;

  3. open whskin_tbars.htm and go to the bottom of the file to find some calls starting with addButton.

  4 Copyt the id of the button (customxxxx) and replace the CUSTOM in the whstart.js file text.

  Change whskin_tbars.htm

  1. open whskin_tbars.htm

  2. go in the bottom of the file and find some calls starting with addButton.

  3. fix the lines in the order you want the buttons to appear. (Remember the "blankblock" button to push some content to the right of the toolbar.

  4. remove the call to the ReSortToolbarButtons() function in the whskin_tbars.js file.

  If WebHelp always use the buttons, try adding return false; as the first code of the ReSortToolbarButtons() function in the whtbar.js file

  Hope this helps,

• Is it possible to make multiple indexes and tables of contents?

  I have InDesign CS2.  I was wondering, is it possible to make several index? For example, an index of names, a separate index for places. Similarly, is it possible to make several Tables of contents? What I really want, it's a Table of contents, list of illustrations, a list of maps and a list of the cards.  What is the best way to go about this?  I know I can make a table of contents, copy the text and use it, then modify the toc settings to make a new. So my main concern is the index, but I'm curious to know if there is a better way for tables of contents.

  Thank you

  An InDesign document can have as many tables of contents you want, but you get only to create an index. One solution is to combine everything in a single index, and then copy and paste it into separate stories at the end. I'm a little fuzzy on the details of how get you this to sort (I never had the need, so far, to do), but it has been described here more than once. I think that a forum for several index search you would probably get the answer.

• Table of contents flowing to multiple pages

  Is there a way to get the table of contents flowing to several pages on the fly?

  I have a project where the Table of contents will be certainly several pages, but the content will be different per pound, so I don't know how many pages the TOC will be until the work is set up at the end.  Since the merger is done programmatically, the best thing would be to set up the FAKE text object if flow dynamically as he had a variable in it, but since it doesn't have a normal variable, the possibility to sell the document does not appear.  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks for looking,

• More table of contents of marking?

  The best way to label a table of contents so that the needs of the user? The AV contains detailed information, but I found different methods on other sites. Currently, my structure is below:

  I mark the dot leaders as artifacts for screen readers don't hear 'dot dot dot dot', but it GOES maintains leadership in. Another site keeps leaders and puts them in the < NonStruct > tags, but these always seem to read you. Any advice?

  Second question, the same topic: I should separate the number of the item in the table of contents? I've done this before, but do not see the value.

  Hey Crockett,

  The Association PDF is hard on a 'PDF Structure elements of the best practices Guide' to answer questions like that - a first draft is here http://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/StructureElementsBestPracticeGuide_2016-01-19 / pdf

  Until the final is released, my place of go - to for PDF recommended marking is the sequel to reference PDF/UA (PDF/UA Reference Suite|)  Association of PDF )

  The structure of your table of contents looks good to me - except that I'm not sure what the "1" is in your example. Like you, I have artifact leaders of the dowry and don't see any added value, by separating the title and chapter number.

• Table of contents, Page number on the left if the tab is too short

  Sorry about the title of coplex, couldn't happen to a better.

  Is there a solution to the table of contents of style then the page number never ends on the left side? Everything works fine if the topics listed in the TOC spans on one or more lines.

  But if the listed topic ends exactly at the end of a line (in the table of contents), the page number appears on the left side of the next line. (I have a ^ t between the entrance and the number in the table of contents style.) If a single word in flows in the line below, the table of contents correctly adds the... (dotted) and place the pagenumber to the right.

  Can I modify the paragraph Style from table of contents or TOC Style so that the number is right-aligned, even if there is no prior entry (which is on the line above).

  Example of the problem:

  Correct / Normal... 1
  This title is exact a row of table of contents
  2

  I would also put the option "Balance unbalanced lines.

• Customize the table of contents for epub book

  Hello

  I have a book in ID CS6 file, containing ten chapters, each in its own starting with style heading 1 to "Chapter 1", "2", "Chapter 3" etc. It also contains more documents to cover, notes copyright, acknowledgement of receipt, info editor etc. (not quite formatted).

  Well, when I export to epub and open it in Adobe Digital Editions a table of contents is generated from all the documents, the names of files.

  Is it possible to exclude the entries, I want to be there?

  In addition, I can control the text of each entry? for example, the "cr.indd" file, I want the Notes"copyright" text in TOC.

  Thank you

  Short answer: you can control the TOC navigation by creating a table of contents Style (layout > Style of Table of contents) and including a paragraph style that you want that pulls the titles that you want in the table of contents.

  Then call on this Style of table of contents in the general Panel of the EPUB export dialog box.

  Looks like you need to get some basic information on creating ePub files. Here are the two best sources I know:

  (1) the books of Elizabeth Castro:

  http://www.elizabethcastro.com/EPUB/

  (2) videos of Anne-Marie Concepcion on Lynda.com. She produced videos on creating EPUB from InDesign CS5, 5.5, and 6. www.Lynda.com. (if Bob Levine sees this, it will add a free link of the week for Lynda.com).

• How to export diferent two tables of contents to epub?

  I have been reseraching french forum of responses to the question I have but could ' t find anything for my case. I am a book of plants convert epub. The layout that gave me was the printed version of the book, I use Indesign 5.5 to convert the epub book. For the results of the tests, I use Calibre and a Kindle.

  I was n style texts and images and everything is great except for the table of contents. The author needs to a content page with all the main chapters (h1 title) and an index at the end of the book with all the names of the plants: this has two titles an eglish followed by the Latin version (h2-h3-Latin and English).

  I've created two different styles of toc, one with only the chapter headings, would be at the table of contents at the beginning and the second style is for the index of plants: with the h2 and h3 titles (I checked the alphabetical button in both to have the section index correctly).

  I have two questions: the first is when I try to place each table of contents at the beginning and at the end of the book. On the page, it looks fine, but when I export to epub, I can choose only in the export Panel, one table of contents. The resulting epub has the same table at the beginning and at the end I tried several times to change the position of the tables, export settings, but I never managed to have two different tables on the same epub.

  The second question is when I had expoorted one of these tests using the style 2 for the index, I get an epub with the two tables of the same material, the index is in alphabetical order, but instead of ordering all the plants of a to z he ordered their "pairs" as they appear on the texts (first English title plants the latin equivalent of a second). How can I do to make this index order alphabetically all the h2 and h3? I need all the a, b, c,... indendently of their position in the page.

  Hope the above makes sense.

  Thanks in advance.

  Thanks for your offer of Ariel, I'm sure is a good script, but I can't affford it right now.

• TOC navigation does not appear when exporting to epub, suggestions?

  Hi all!

  
  

  I created a document from the Table of contents in the book that I created, but when I export for Digital Editions the TOC page shows just totally blank. It's my first epub, and I don't know if I'm set up right. Has anyone else had a similar problem? If so, how to solve it? Thank you very much!!

  When you say that the entire page of TOC is empty, what do you mean? A table of contents for navigation is displayed in the Navigation pane on the left of the Adobe Digital Editions software. In iBooks, it descends from the icon of content at the top of the page.

  If you place a table of contents created by InDesign, it will not appear on a page to EPUB created from InDesign CS4. This is because it is not considered part of the flow of the main story. You will need to manually create a table of contents, which appears on a page with references.
