Generate PDF table of contents from expanders

Hey, maybe someone can help me here. 🙂

We have a frameless and a PDF output.

In the frameless output we have for example a topic in which we have several expanders.
Now we would like to use these expanders automatically as sub-headings in the table of contents of the PDF output.

As far as I know, RoboHelp can only generate table of contents from headings and not from expanders.

Is there a way to generate the PDF table of contents from expanders?

Thanks in advance!

Please use the photo icon to insert images within the post. Seeing an image inline with the text makes it easier for anyone answering or viewing the post.

Only headings will appear so yes you will have to apply a heading style.

What do you mean by "expander"? Do you mean expanding text or a dropdown or something else?

You can apply a heading style to expanding text and dropdown hotspots.

I mean dropdowns. I also attatched an example screenshot.

So I would have to apply the heading style to all dropdowns manually.
Or is it possible to automatically add the dropdowns to the table of contents of a PDF output?

Did you try applying the heading style to the dropdown title and create a TOC to see what you get?
