Question

Print output structure

Have I got this right? In RH2020, the following structure is not possible in the printed output table of contents?

 

What's New
  - Current Release
  2020
    - January 
    - June
  2019
    - January
    - March
    - August

 

Instead, I'll end up with

 

- Current Release
- January
- June
- January
- March
- August

I checked the navigation pane and it displays the topic headings in exactly the same unstructured way as the table of contents.

 

Looks like I can't do Word output in Robohelp any more. 😞

One thing you could try in the book TOC is caps for the current top level sections and change the second level sections to top level but retaining mixed case.

 

In this TOC leave the case as shown but move Folder Two and Folder Three up a level.

 

 

Below Folder Three could be FOLDER FOUR. Whilst all the sections are top level, the case creates a sort of hierarchy.

If What's New is a section and 2020/2021 are indented sections, What's New will appear but 2020 and 2021 will not.

 

If What's New is a topic and 2020/2021 are top level sections, they will all appear.

 

If the output is Word, consider no TOC but educating users to use the Navigation pane. That is based on heading levels.
