Table of contents displays a mess

• Table of contents displays the wrong fonts... Sometimes

  When I generate a table of contents, it generally works well, but sometimes text comes from the size and color of the text source instead of the assigned police of OCD.

  I have a my "TOC 1" paragraph style value 9/18 black points.  One of my headers is partially oversized and reversed text to white 36 p. It is not saved as a character style, just make it bigger.  Rather than follow the assigned table of contents 1 style, this text is available in white 36 p. I have other places where the headers are reversed and or resized and it displays fine in the table of contents.  In some cases, the table of contents comes in the color of the text source... but most of the time it comes of as it should be, as the color of the table of contents 1.

  Why the inconsistency?

  I keep digging and I found the answer. It's more than the "local formatting". It is "localpartial formatting" that replaces the table of contents style.

  I saw this initially because it was only a space empty at the end of the header which is different, so it was invisible to me.

  If the text in a header in the doc is exactly the same, no matter how it is modified locally, the TOC style is applied in its entirety.

  If any part of this text is different, the table of contents will be changed... BUT:

  Different changes apply to different parts of the line in the table of contents. So we can predict how some inmates / change will apply.

  If this is supposed to be a feature rather than a problem, it's a pretty bad; too many incompatible variables.

  The graph below shows some of the results possible.  At least now I know what is the problem and how to avoid it.

  

• Table of contents generated a mess

  With the help of FM 10 with a table of contents generated.  The first page of a chapter has 2 streams, "Chapter title" and "text body".  "Chapter title" exceeds "body text".  The 2 streams are not connected, because I don't want a headline to encroach on the text and ruin the formatting.  If the title is not related to what anyone, but the body is connected to the next page.

  Table of contents generated Finally, puts the title of the chapter under all the other entries for this page.  The following pages are fine, until the next title page.

  From other posts, I have moved around the page title (upwards and downwards), changed the names of stream and paragraph styles, and it still puts the flow changed title on this page.

  Two text streams are defined on the master page.

  It seems that all that is in the flow of a single displayed the first without worrying.  How can I fix?  How to read the stream in the correct order?

  Help.

  After several days of fighting, I decided to give in and make all a casting spanning 2 images.

  The TOC works, which should surprise no one.

  Just to be perverse, I went back and disconnected the executives still once, renamed them what, and continued to work on the table of contents.  So now do I want the way I want.

  Go figure.

  Not really intuitive, but does not require a hack, and I can live with the result.  As with many things with FM, once you find the rule, you can use it to do the job.  The observation of these rules is the hardest part.  Another 'undocumented feature' for books.

  Thanks for all the help.

• Captivate display default V4 for the table of contents - effect of overlay/entity

  Here's something I've learned painfully. A brand new user, I couldn't understand why my OCD didn't show. Then I noticed that there was a button table of contents in the playback control. Clicking on that table of contents appears. But I wanted my users to have a KNOCK ON by default. I searched the tutorials and help, finally called support. The person no-Help me had create a new project and, since a new display TOC by default, she insisted it was a problem specific to the project, gave me a url for how to avoid damage to the files and said I had to redo my project! I said it must be a bug feature or without papers, but she said she wouldn't report it because I was the only one with the problem. She could not address my point that I had certainly not created the button table of contents in the playback control.
  
  After getting off the phone very frustrated, I discovered this is a feature of the TOC/entity overlay option. If you choose overlay, button table of contents appears in the playback control and click for table of contents display.
  
  Wishing Adobe would only add this point in the help file.

  Welcome to our community

  Sorry, you had the problem and I'm happy, you were finally able to solve.

  I would like to point out a new feature to help with Captivate 4. Everyone can now add comments to help! I encourage you to visit the help topic you feel should change and add a comment here. In this way, assistance will be eventually updated to include this information. And until it has been updated, all will see your comment!

• Conditional compilation tags or phrases in the table of contents

  Hi all

  I meet another problem with my conversion, this time with the tags and conditional compilation expressions.
  Everything seems to go well in my subjects, but not in my table of contents.

  Some of my topic titles have words with conditional text applied in the source FrameMaker document.

  These subject titles also appear in the table of contents that are automatically generated when I connect my framework book in Robohelp.

  I put the conditional compilation expression in the Webhelp settings dialog box and then save and build.

  These topic titles appear to pick up the correct conditional compilation expression in the subjects themselves, but the title of the table of contents displays several conditions (including the condition that I set myself to 'Exclude').

  Thus, for example, if the title of my topic is

  "Conventions in this documentonline help."

  WHERE
  -----
  document > should appear in PDF format only
  and
  online help > must only appear in Webhelp

  I can get the Webhelp topic to use the title "Conventions in this online help.

  but the corresponding TOC header looks like this:
  "Conventions in this documentonline help.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.
  What

  Conditional compilation tags are not imported to the table of contents of the FrameMaker content. However, you can follow another approach to achieve this. We can manage the conditional compilation expression in FrameMaker itself and import the content of filterted in RoboHelp. In order to achieve this, set the conditional compilation expression in FrameMaker. Enable the setting in RoboHelp to 'apply FrameMaker text building conditional Expression '. [File->-> import-> Edit (FrameMaker settings)-> other settings of project settings]

  This way of RoboHelp will import only the content filtered with conditional tags build resolved according to the expression applied in FrameMaker.

• I put the table of contents to view all levels, not just one?

  I'm in RH 8 and using Webhelp.

  When I generate, I have 2 levels of books.

  When I click on a book at level 2, it closes another book that can be opened at level 2.

  Is there a way to make all the books and pages and all the themes appear when generated?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no characteristic or parameter that you can activate in RoboHelp which will cause the table of contents display initially in a fully developed State. You should consider to send a form would ask option to add in a future version.

• in the Table of contents, my photos are not displayed, can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

  I am writing an iBook on a Mac Book Pro of the retina, and when I go to see the table of contents it shows no picture... so I do something wrong, or not do something, everyone knows what this might be? Here you have a Table of contents on iBook author image. It is said that there are 5 chapters and Chapter 3 marking and it should show the main image of this chapter and down a row of thumbnails of all pages of this chapter. Nothing shows... I'd appreciate any info to solve this problem. Thank you.

  

  Quack quack.

  the thumbnails do not appear when you look at the table of contents to the author of the ib.  You must create the .ibooks file, do a preview for mac, and open it with the ibooks software and you will see knock thumbnails view or put your book on a iPad and if switch you to the comparable iPad display, thumbnails will be visible there.

  In addition, you must file an image file in the placeholder, which will be visible on each index type toc page, yes a picture shown throughout the book.

  good luck with your book and I hope you sell 1 million copies.

• How to display a complete tree of the table of contents in the body of a page instead of the sidebar?

  How to display a full (project) TOC tree in the body of the pages of the section instead of the default sidebar (left pane)? Is there a simple way to do this in the application? I have not yet discovered a way to do it, but I can't get to the right place. Any suggestions?

  I don't think you can view the table of contents on a page, and even if you could, the sidebar would always be there for indexing and search. The only possibility I can think of is to create a page where you create links arranged to act as a TOC, then maybe iFrame this page in. Each book might be a drop-down list to view links to topics.

  Maintenance would be horrible and she barely meets your requirement to be simple.

• How to make a table of contents to display the chapter number and chapter text together

  I'm working on 11 of FrameMaker. How can I get my Table of contents (TOC) to display the chapter number and chapter title on one line. My chapter titles have the chapter number and chapter title on two lines, two centered at the top of a new page. I wish that my OCD to pick the chapter number and chapter name on one line not two. Thank you.

  If you'v created the table of contents with activation of hyperlinks (default) setting, and then simply hold the CTRL + alt keys and click on empty entries in your TOC file. FM will open the file containing the entrry and jump to the correct section.

• Why the names of my chapters are not displayed in the table of contents?

  Hello. I use Indesign & DPS simple editing to make an application. In Indesign, I created several different documents that I used to make items that I put together in a Folio.  I saw it using the tool preview Adobe & on the iPad using Adobe Content Viewer. When I select the button table of contents I see thumbnail screenshots of the first page of each chapter, but no text chapter name.  For each of the documents that I used to make items that I named them after the chapter they represent, which is what I thought each chapter name defined.

  The strange thing is that before I did a couple of test folios and they do not have the name of chapter text. So what can I do to display the chapter name in the table of contents?

  Also, is there a way to change change the thumbnail used by the table of contents?

  Thank you

  The answer to both questions is in the Article Properties dialog box. Select the item in the Folio Builder Panel and choose Properties from the context menu. Specify the name of the chapter of "Title" - which is probably empty now. (There is a difference between an article name and a title of the article. The name is used for internal purposes, such as the binding, and the title appears in the application).

  At the bottom of this dialog box, you see a preview of the Table of contents. Click the folder icon and specify a PNG of 70 x 70 that you design.

• Display the correct/incorrect indications in a Quiz TOC (Table of Contents) (Captivate 6)

  

  I use 6 Captivate.

  Is it possible to generate an indication in the Table of contents to display to the user a visual indication of correct / incorrect while the subject takes the quiz on the navigation?

  Any help in this effort is greatly appreciated! I've looked everywhere and can't solve this one.

  Thank you!!

  
  

  Ok. So I said that the possibilities of assembling the table of contents are limited. You can create a slide that this will show after the quiz. I guess you have not only question slides, and the slide of score is not sufficient for you.

  This will require the use of variables and advanced actions. Do you know anything about these features in Captivate?

• 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 2^nd 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.

  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.

• display information in folders root on the table of contents

  RH8 HTML.

  I wonder that if there is a way to define a survey folder in a table of contents to display information, even just a list of subtopics in a main folder of a browser of WEbHelp and air base exit help.

  for example if you look at the help file in RH8, you click on a section of the table of contents at the top level, that is, tables of contents, indexes, glossaries. information appears and indicates what topics are described in this file in the help file.

  I want to do something similar with my help file, even if all the top-level folder, or a subfolder with subtopics just shows nothing until I click on a specific topic.

  hope that's clear, it's hard to explain... but surely a simple solution.

  Thank you.

  Hi Nick

  I'm a bit confused as to exactly what you want to achieve here. I think that is a part of the question, you mix the terms files and TOC levels.

  When you automatically create a TOC RoboHelp certainly looks like the folder structure that exists in your project and creates a book for each file it encounters.

  Perhaps you mean ask how you configure books in your table of contents so that a click from the user, not only do they widen to reveal what are the links to topics within the book, but a topic displays on the right side that lists the explanations and links to what's in the book? If this is what you want, you will need to create a topic for each book. Make sure he read and appear as you wish, then use the 'Book with link' function of the table of contents to associate subjects with books.

• 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?

  What is the version of iBooks that you speak? There is an online version here: https://help.apple.com/ipod-touch/9/ Aha, I see the table of contents on the left disappears if you zoom before or make the narrow window and reappears if zoom you out or make it larger.

• Can someone just list all the reasons that may explain why some elements will not be displayed in a table of contents?

  Extremely frustrating. I've set up a catalogue, all the section headers I want to appear in the table of contents are tagged with the same paragraph style, but he simply refuses to include some of them - after a certain point in the book. I looked at all that I can think of to try to see what is different about these elements - and nothing. I have searched forums, cannot find a response - perhaps because it is a general question. But there are several reasons why for example the Annotator gradient may not appear in artificial intelligence (another thing that drove me crazy)... hoping someone similarly list the main factors that can break a table of contents, and I hope that my answer will be there somewhere.

  Nothing wrong with Win 7 (my OS of choice).

  This seems very unlikely in your case, but check to make sure that you have not the multiple styles with the same name in the groups of style or with capital letter.  You might want to try this, too: remove minor corruption by exporting
