missing toc link

[elisa23592620fepw]

Good morning,

I have a RH 2020.7.46 and have created a new TOC with the "autocreate TOC" options, flagging both the options "Delete current TOC before creating new" and "Create TOC pages for bookmarks". For only one TOC there is a red cross on the left that indicates Missing TOC links.

Could you please help me to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Double click that TOC so that it opens in the Authoring panel. Click on the red item. There should be an entry that is shown as broken. Look in the Content Properties on the right.

Does that give any clues?

Hi Peter,

unfortunately that doesn't give me any clues. Let me show you the situation with a screenshot

How can I solve this missed link? I specify that in the Contents Panel there isn't any problem 

[Peter Grainge]

OK so it is a specific section that has a red X against it and all the entries within that section.

Normally that should not happen with an autocreated TOC.

When you say there isn't a problem in the Contents panel on the left, do you mean those topics are there or just that there are no red Xs. I'm guessing you mean they are there. In that case drag the first one from the Contents panel to the TOC. It should like the broken entry other than the red X.

Assuming that worked OK, delete all the entries with the red X and multi select the remaining items in the Contents panel and drag them to the TOC.

I would hope this is a one-off glitch and I can't explain it.

Let us know that has solved the problem.

Many thanks for the tip, but it doesn't work.

So Itried to use Fix Broken Links from the Edit Tab.

It seems to work for some sections but not for all. 

Probably I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.

Could you help me?

[Peter Grainge]

Broken links will not help as that is looking at source files and the link is not broken there.

Can you share the project? If you can, then see the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.

Hi Peter,

in the end the problem was the colon ":" in the Title of some sections. Delete this symbol the TOC link works.

thanks so much for the help!
