Question

Why is Appendix not appearing in the TOC?

Hi All

I have just added an appendix to an existing guide. However, the Appendix heading does not display in the TOC, it just includes the heading 1s and 2s.

The master page for the toc includes the following definitions:

Chapter <$chapnum>: <$paratext><$pagenum>
<$paratext><$pagenum>
<$paratext><$pagenum>
<$paratext><$pagenum>
Appendix <$chapnum>: <$paratext><$pagenum>

The Chapter heading is displaying fine. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Emma.

Hi Emma, these definitions are on the TOC *Reference Page*, not Master Page, yes?

If you right-click on the TOC in your existing guide (the book file) you'll likely see that the appendix title is not included. If it is, then it's likely that your AppendixTOC (assumes your appendix paragraph tag is named Appendix) paragraph tag is not assigned to the paragraph on the reference page.

Sorry yes, I did of course mean the Reference page.

What you suggested was exactly the problem, thanks! An easy fix really, but I really don't find Framemaker to be very intuitive...

Thanks again,
Emma.

Glad to hear that you fixed it!

As far as intuitiveness, Fm has its own logic, and things will seem more predictable after using the product for a while. Not much help now, but it gets better down the line...
