Table of Contents - Numbers don't show up in the table

Hello, 

I am running into an issue creating my table of contents. When I create my TOC, I include all the paragraph styles that need to be included in the table. However, when it is done being created, none of the paragraph numbering transfers its way to the table. What I mean is that it just includes the titles like "Packaging & Shipping" instead of " 1.8 Packaging & Shipping". My reference pages are also not working properly because messing around with them has changed nothing about my TOC. Is there anything I can do to fix the TOC without having to manually input all of the paragraph numbers? Thank you!!

Hi @Kamelia38949005c3z7:

 

As a default, FrameMaker calls in the paragraph text <$paratext> and the page numbers <$pagenum> via building blocks on the reference pages. You can add the paragraph number building block <$paranum> in front of the paragraph text on the TOC reference page. For details, see https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-framemaker-including-chapter-numbers-in-a-table-of-contents/

I'd be looking at how my numbering was being defined in the docs for those headings that the HeadingTOC paragraph tag was capturing for use in your TOC.

@Barb Binder - THAT was the reference I thought existed - I just ran out of time to go find it for the OP!

And if you are doing chapter-based numbering (1-1, 2-1, 3-1, etc.) you need to add <$chapnum> and puncuation in front of the page number.
