Hi All!

I would like to customize my auto generated Front Matter TOC page. I mean, so far, the TOC page is looking like this:

Chapter 1

title 1 ............................pg 2

title 2 .............................pg 3

Chapter 2

title 1 ...........................pg 4

title 2 ........................... pg 5

And I would like the following:

1. Chapter 1

1.1 title 1 .............................. pg2

1.2 title 2 .............................. pg 3

2. Chapter 2

2.1 title 1.................................pg 4

2.2 title 1................................ pg 5

Is there any way to auto generate the number of the chapters?

Thanks in advance

Chinese

I am advised that if the H1, H2 etc styles in your topics have numbering, that should come through in the TOC.

Perhaps set up a quick test project to see how it works.

I will check later one idea that has come to mind but I am not hopeful.

You haven't said which version of RoboHelp you are using. Please always start a thread with this information.

Please go to Help > About and include the full version number.
If you are using 2019 also state whether it is 2019 Classic or 2019 New UI.

You also haven't said whether you are creating a PDF or Word document.

I don't think it can be done in either but if you create a Word template with a numbered TOC style in it, then it might work. If not apply a numbered TOC style post generation. You can PDF that afterwards.

Sorry, I forgot it..

Version 2022.2.22 and the query is about the PDF output.

So, maybe the only way is creating the TOC manually..
