Question

Additional Output to HTML5 Issue

After getting the TOC to appear correctly on one book yesterday, another book today is nesting the TOC incorrectly, even thought the exact same formats are being used.

 

I updated FM2020 software to current version yesterday to latest revision.

    I believe you need to create a "top-level" entry that would then nest everything else.

    Can you add the book title to the TOC and then re-run the HTML5 output?

    I am not sure what you are asking me to do. Do I need to create a paragraph stle called Book Title? And how do I set it as the top level? I really don't want the Book Title appearing in the TOC contents of the actual book.

    I recall having this issue. While I understand what you're saying about the book title, I actually created a Table of Contents paragraph that then nested all headings inside. I set the TOC paragraph at the "root level" and then nested the chapter titles and headings inside of it by using the arrows accordingly. The paragraph containing the Table of Contents text needs to precede the first heading you want nested.

    The end result is that there is exactly one first-level heading, called Table of Contents, and all other headings are nested underneath.

    Hi,

     

    Is the TOC coming correctly in PDF output? 

    Will it be possible to share the book?

     

    Thanks,

    Namita

    Yes - PDF TOC is fine.

    Zipped Archive for download (Archive created courtesy ArchiveES - great utility that should be built into FM!!)

    It is strange - once all files are in the same folder in the archive and I attempt output, it lists the Chapter titles fine but no sub-headings. Smaple HTML 5 output from archive here.

    I am no Framemake expert but I am doing nothing different than in the past so not sure what is happening.
