Titles of chapters to the Master Page

Hello

I have a book that I am formatting. (A novel with inner pages of black and white text) I put everything including the table of contents, master pages, etc. What I want to do, however, is in the master pages where I have currently page numbers down, title of a book on the left top page, I want ID AutoText chapter the name on the top of the right-hand page.

Thus, the left page at the top would be the title of the book, right upper page would be the title of the particular chapter. Is it possible to have this autoformated, rather than add the individual chapter titles to each page? Because they are different, it should read index information somehow.

Any help is appreciated.

This is a job for a variable "Header running", introduced in CS3. You probably based on a paragraph rather than a character style style and you'll want to pick up 'everything on the page first' that looks for style on the current page, and if it does not find it will look back to previous pages until he does. Make sure the stylename, if this isn't the definition for your chapter heads is unique and not applied to any thing.

You can find more information about the variables in the help files.

  • Placeholder for the topic title in the master page?

    RH9

    If I create a new topic with No selected master page, the title of the topic that I type in the new topic dialog box would become the title of the topic in the new topic. Is good.

    If I create a new topic with the help of a master page, how to get the same result? What should I put in the master page as a variable or a placeholder so that the new title of the subject becomes the title of the topic?

    Thank you.

    Please do not take into account. Answer is use Insert a field to insert the field title. I did not see this in the manual section RH9 on the Master Pages, but found elsewhere on the web.

  • Table of contents using a style/section of the master page

    I'm at the top of my head I think... and probably incorrectly to the top of my document.  I hope I can quickly explain where I am:

    Question 1

    I'd like a Table of contents to use 10 section headers that appear throughout my document.  Here's how I set up:

    • In the master page, a place for the header of section and it gives a paragraph style.
    • Then, throughout the document, I used the "numbering and section options" start each new section and give this article is the unique name.

    When I went to generate the Table of contents, I've specified using this particular paragraph style that I used for the section headers, but nothing appears (except for the title, I asked for the General table of contents).  It's as if this isn't to find the sections - or this style (which applies only to the master page).

    Where am I wrong?

    Question 2

    I wish that my Table of contents, not numbered.  How do I do that?

    Shanell

    I don't know that you understood my post. I was able to do exactly what you did - create a master page with a frame and the section marker character (indicating "section" on the master page) and then add the actual text of the marker in the numbering and section options. The text appears on the page of live document.

    When I tried to do a table of contents, text was not resumed UNTIL I selected and carried this master frame on the page of the document (Ctrl + Shift + click on Windows or Cmd + Shift + click on Mac on the image that you want to replace). After substitution, the text appeared as scheduled in the table of contents.

    You're right about the number of page for this page. You can use another master without a page number, or you can cancel and delete the master page number frame. I assume that you will need to use a different master for the first page and pages in any section to avoid having the marker appear on all pages, or you can replace only the first page so that you don't repeat entries in the table of contents for each page of each section.  If you use the marker as a running header Section, you can learn more about Variables header running in the help files in place. In many ways, the use of a variable can be simpler and more direct.

  • Lose the Master Page assignments after import layout

    I have a book with about 40 chapters, and I'm trying to change the page layout.  I update the master pages in Chapter 1 and then use the import formats to import master pages in the other chapters.

    However, when I go in the other chapters, the first pages lose their 'first' assignment page and just came with a normal allocation of L/R.

    If I Master Page use manually and change the first "chapter" page it works OK, but who will become a bit tedious for those chapters.

    Is it possible to keep the existing master page to use assignments when importing to page layout?

    Thank you!

    John

    Ah, interesting.  Of course, during the test of this morning, he had not this problem.

    But your message prompted me to finally understand that cryptic MasterPageMaps and so I made a chart like this, which seems to do the trick:

    Paragraph tag name Right hand Master Page (or master Front Page) Left Master Page Indicator of rank (single, on the pages up to this amended) Comments
    Titrechapitre First Unique Titrechapitre page as the first master page

    Thanks as always for your quick and helpful answer!

  • How to specify the master page according to odd or even first page

    We have implemented our books to delete empty pages and we have chapters starting both odd and even pages. In addition, the first pages of our chapters are formatted differently than in the rest of the left and right Master pages. We would like to have two Master pages for the first page of the chapter, one for odd pages and one for the same, so that we can compensate for the margins, leaving more room on the side of the link.

    My question is how do I set up the book so that it generates when, if the chapter starts on an odd page, it automatically applies the master page by odd pages first and when the first page is the same, it applies to the master page by same first pages?

    We have 8 FramMaker and run on Windows XP Professional.

    Thank you

    Tim

    Tim,

    It depends on your book settings. If the next chapter is set to start on a right-hand page, then if the previous chapter ends on an odd page (e.g. law), FM has for add a left page. Book settings always take precedence over the settings of files. You must specify a page available next to the level of the book for all the files (after the first chapter) If you want transitions smoothly with none of the additional pages being inserted. However, you may have a few chapters from the left side, so make sure that you have both a left and right first master page defined and used in your mapping table.

  • How to identify the master page of replacement

    I think that this forum must be broken. Surely questions have been over the years who use the term "ignore".

    Anyway, every time I move a master page for the body, I get the message asking if I want to maintain the substitution. I looked and looked and did not find that on the page of the body is the substitution of the master page.

    How will I know which chokes on Framemaker? I use FM 12 in Windows 7.

    Thank you!

    Hi Nancy:

    I know! We must put our detective hat and grab our magnifying glasses to understand. You can put it on a list of gifts here: host.

    From my experience, once removed, always removed. Are back you (or someone in your office) do anything to add in without knowing it? For example, by selecting the single page framework model and makes it a little more time to accommodate an additional line? If the framework model is just a fraction of a different point in the frame of the page master, it generates the message.

  • Final result does not match the Master Page

    I'm so frustrated with Muse right now I could scream. I'm creating a simple landing page, a single page, where what little information it is (a graphic background, logo and contact information) is the master. I want to just publish a page that is exactly like the master, but this does not seem possible with Muse. Why is this? What Miss me? If you open the master page and go where the text breaks for mobile display, there is a blue graph that I placed at the bottom to fill in the blanks. Has gone in the final result and the page is excessive in length, I can't change in any way. The master is set to vertical 956px, but the last page is at 1080. There is nothing hidden anywhere on the page or master.

    A zipped file of the site can be found here: Dropbox - AYIN Website.zip

    I would be very grateful for any help anyone could give me, thanks in advance.

    Hi David,

    Thanks a lot for your answer. However, after consideration and discussion with my client, I think I'll try to rebuild the page from scratch, since it's so simple, see how it works first. I'll get in touch if I'm still having the same problem.

  • Combo / twisties in the master page footer section?

    How to make scrolling text or twisties work in the footer of a master page section?

    We try to add drop-down text menu / twisties in footer of each topic so that our clients can access company, product, technical support of any subject information. To do this, the most logical is to change the master page and add content in the footer.

    We have these main sections:

    Contact the Doc Team

    Documentation PDF

    Support links

    Information about the company

    Product information

    Here is roughly what I want to be like him once that the user he develops:

    But when I open the master page in the main editing view, the ability to add the drop-down list feature is grayed out inside HR.

    I tried to create the footer drop-down content in a separate test topic and then copy and paste directly into the master page. HR removes such content from the minute I'm trying to save him, leaving only the related topics. Example of text that is deleted:

    <? HR-droptext_start class = "droptext" id = "POPUP542020552" style = "" display: none; '? " >

    < class p = "footerpar" > Readme.pdf | < a href = "#" class = "footerlink" > LINK

    HERE < /a > < /p >

    < class p = "footerpar" > printable manuals | < a href = "#" class = "footerlink" > LINK

    HERE < /a > < /p > <? HR-droptext_end? >

    Are there workarounds to accomplish twisties on a section of the footer of a master page without using an external .js file?

    I may try a road .jquery if I can't get HR to behave, but would like to just use the page master itself without other files.

    I finally got drop downs working inside a .hts which is then inside the .htt footer section.

    I discovered that the problems in the CSS I posted in the pictures above are attributable mainly from my own CSS problems.

    However, when I tried to add images twistie, bad new...

    Twisties are all or nothing in RoboHelp. You apply all the drop Downs or None.

    That won't work for us, since our footer is a background more dark.

    So I created my own downfall personalized stockings with jQuery and CSS.

    And they worked!

    Well well, mostly...

    Long story short: it has been a painful week and the other half, mostly spent trying to get this .hts of footer to the appearance and behavior of the way I want it too in my chm. I had to do a LOT of trial and error and additional testing to figure out something that works.

    Things I've learned:

    • Square pegs can go in the round holes with a lot of hammering and a lot of mess.
    • CHMS are old. They are not easier to work with when it comes to the use of styles. Many things are not taken in charge you can do in a normal browser.
    • Under the hood CHMS use IE 7, so you have to use CSS that matches that version.
    • You can work around some limitations that HR requires using methods and tool parts.
    • Use a repository. If you make a mistake or fall a path that you want to cancel or put on the shelf for later, you can do it easily. (I'm really happy that I did. I could come and go between my revisions and see what the code worked and which did not easily).
    • In a repository, use a test project that mimics your production project, including the folder structure, but on a much smaller scale you can do faster chm builds. (I got my footer to work Monday, but when I moved it into our real project, the footer did not work on CHMS in subfolders. So I had to build a workaround for this. I would have seen previously had I better imitated my directory structure.)
    • Don't get so sucked into approach that you neglect other tools or methods that might be simpler. (I spent a good amount of time trying to get HR drop downs working in HR footer when jQuery, once I figured how to make, provided a simpler approach.)

    Result of my footer (with custom twisties and drop downs in expansion):

  • Breakpoints on the master page do not apply to pages

    Hello

    When we define four different stitches on the master page, these definitions do not apply on pages that are related to this master page.

    How can we solve this problem?

    Thank you

    By clicking on the small triangles in the bar of breakpoint on the layout page, which represent the masterpage breakpoints.

    MasterPage breakpoint are not automatically applied to layout pages, because the masterpages content can "break" so many different places that the content of your layout pages. Just think about 4 images now on the master page, which would have need of repositioning on smaller screen sizes and a simple text on layout, that does not need any breakpoint at all.

  • How to edit a page that uses the layout of the master page?

    Hi I made a layout in the master page and its now on all pages, but I want on some pages of the stuff away but I can't edit this more or its not let me remove/resize or else its not let me I have just to see the layers I can turn their market but I there is no arrow I can click Open all that is inside.

    This is how works the master page. You cannot change the things that you put there on normal pages.
    On master pages, you should leave that parts of your layout which sholud look the same on each page. Other parts of the layout must be placed directly on the pages.

  • My navigation links on some pages and not on others. All bearings have a link page, in the master page.

    My navigation links on some pages and not on others. Only 2 of my 7 links work on the home page, 6 of the 7 work on another, and on other pages, they work. They are all together in the master and are linked to their corresponding page. No idea why?

    Layers. There is other content on top of your navigation. Even the transparent part of the other objects will block the mouse events to reach your NAV.

    At this point you probably just 'Layer 1' in the layers panel. Content on the layer 1 on the master page will always be behind the content on the layer 1 on the page to that master is applied.

    Create a 'layer 2' (which will be on top of the layer-1) and go to navigation. Now the navigation will be on top of the element on the layer 1 on your page and these elements will block are more mouse events to reach your NAV.

  • The changes have disappeared from the master page, why?

    Changes in the master page of a dita topic file, but whenever I restart FrameMaker2015, any changes disappear, why? Everyone please answer!

    Adama

    mehjabins,

    The appearance of a file of DITA topic, including master pages, comes from a model when the XML source file is opened. Then when the XML file is saved, the information disappears. In other words, all information of formatting in a file in FrameMaker DITA is temporary, just a convenience for the creation of WYSIWYG. If you want the master page changes to stay permanent, you need to change the common model that is used to open files. If change you it, the changes appear in every theme DITA file that you open then.

    I don't know exactly where this file remains, perhaps someone else could give advice. I would say, however, that this can be a risky business. Be sure to make backups.

  • Blocks of text on the Master Pages with CS3?

    I produce a catalog in CS3 on my Mac using OS Mavericks.

    I put in place of master pages with square 6 graphic blocks on each page. Each of them has a CAPTION below, in which I put up as a block of text. I clicked on "Apply Master pages", but when I go to the blocks of text pages are not displayed to the top. The only way I can enter captions on pages is by creating new blocks of text, 6 on each page, which is very tedious and time consuming. What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you.

    Welll...

    As bob says it is not Quark where you can just click to type in a main frame, but you CAN Cmd + Shift + click to override the main chassis and type in it. You might be better off, however, with a framework prédimensionnée and style in a library that you can drag onto the page and position. My feeling on frameworks masters get substitution is that they probably shouldn't be on the master page at all.
