Question

table of contents contain duplicate headings in different levels in printed documentation output

In Robohelp 10, the table of contents contain different books at different levels linked to topic files. When it gets published in printed documentation, the books linked to topic files gets published with two heading levels in the table of contents and as well as in the body content.

First I have removed your email address for two reasons.

  1. The whole idea of the forum is to put answers here so that others can benefit from them.
  2. You should never put your email address on any forum, unless you need enlarged body parts or want to hear from some official dealing with the multi million $£ estate of your long lost uncle.

It sounds like you are getting the book title as well as the topic title and maybe you have the wrong setting for Maintain Heading levels.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Is it like I have to manually edit the table of contents for the printed documentation in the chapter layout (Wizard -page 2) to avoid the duplicate headings.. The default table of contents will be used for other help contents only.

    Regards,

    Nalini

    That is explained in Printed Documentation. In the Print Layout you remove the topic as you know it will get printed because it is linked to the book.

    Personally I keep two TOCs. One for OLH and one for Print. I reduce the number of levels in Print. When I print, I trash what is in the layout by using the left facing arrow, then update it using the right facing arrow. That refreshed what is in the print layout.

    Do read the page on my site.
