TOC Concept

Hi,
  Can anyone explain me the concept behind the TOC in InDesign?
How the ordering of contents is done, when the contents are in same page using multiple styles.
- Sudha K

Similar to my reply to your other post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5763674) .. since the TOC is built from the para tags, you'll need to tweak the underlying EDD to assign different tags for the headings in the different topic types so your TOC template can include/exclude the tags you want.
<sales-pitch>
Note that using DITA-FMx makes this process much easier since you can create separate "component templates" for each topic type, and it's easier to identify and modify the proper EDD. It also uses the "proper" practice of including a frontmatter/booklists/toc element in your bookmap to create a TOC rather than using a FM-specific technique.
</sales-pitch>
Good luck!

  • Unable to create a complate PDF (with title page, toc, chapter, backmatter, index) from a valid ditamap

    Following is the ditamap i am using to create the PDF. This has booktitle, front matter, toc, chapter and backmatter. I am able to generate a PDF (complete with title page, toc, chapter, backmatter, index) using fop 0.25. However, when I try to create a pdf in FM 9.0, I get only the chapter.

    Unfortunately, default FM9 DITA does not support the automatic creation of the special bookmap files (toc, index, etc.). The only way to do it in FM9 is to manually add those generated lists to the book after you've generated it.
    DITA-FMx 1.1 provides the ability to automatically create FM generated lists as well as apply numbering and pagination (and many other properties) automatically when you generate a book from a bookmap. For more info and to download a trial ..

  • Selected TOC style Name

    Hi All,
    Simple question for you...
    How can I alert the selected TOC style name.
    We are creating huge tool. Based on the selection Toc Style, we will process the multiple document.
    For example I want to alert the Toc Style CCC(tick mark) name in this document.
    Trying Code:
    var myTocStyle = app.activeDocument.tocStyles.selectedIndex;
    //~ var myTocStyle = app.activeDocument.tocStyles.item(-2);   //Dont want this concept
    Very urgent request. Please help.
    Thanks
    Beginner_X

    From:
    myStory.storyType
    you can determine that a story is a TOC, but how do you get from there to the TOC Style that was used to create said TOC?
    This was the question that was bugging me back in CS3 days and I see no improvement in the CC object model. Stories don't have an associatedTOCStyle property. But maybe you can get at this by lateral thinking. If a story was created as a TOC then it has certain paragraph styles in it. If the TOC Styles are designed to have unique paragraph styles that identify the TOC Style, then you're home and dry. For example, you could have a ParagraphStyleGroup for each TOC Style and the name of that group could be the same as the name of the corresponding TOC Style.
    Of course, this assumes you have control over the template for the project so that this relationship can be relied on. But given that, you can start with a text selection. Check the applied paragraph style, look at the name of its parent and bingo: there's the name of the TOC Style.
    I'm not sure if this helps in your situation.

  • Combining APEX help with a frame-like TOC html help system (I used DITA)

    Problem:
    The APEX page-oriented help system is bad at helping users find how to do something. I prefer to use a task-oriented help system for that, with a table of contents that users can browse around in. I like the DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) system's topic based help with its ideas of tasks, concepts and references. But, I also like the context-based feel of a page-based help system and the way that the APEX help system automatically aggregates all of the item-based help on a page for you.
    My Solution:
    I'm no html genius, so this may be totally wrong, but what I did was to create a task oriented html user guide that also included a page based help TOC entry for each page. I then used iframes in the APEX help page to allow me to have a TOC always showing with links that controlled a content "pane," but still also display the automatically-generated item help for the page help is called from.
    * Downloaded the DITA open toolkit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot ), full package distribution and installed using the user guide (http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/doc/ot-userguide131/xhtml/ )
    * Downloaded and installed XMLmind XML editor free personal edition version ([http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml]). I'm not endorsing this thing, but it's free and it works great out of the box for editing DITA files.
    * Created an html user guide by modifying the garage sample that's included with the DITA open toolkit and publishing to xhtml (I also published to pdf2, by the way, to provide a printable user guide for my users to download...one of the nice things about DITA). I set up my files so that they would all be in a topics subfolder, rather than the standard task, concept, and reference folders of the example. I did this so that I wouldn't have to worry about linking to a different folder from APEX (more on that later). I made a concept topic for each page of my application with the filename "Concept_About_page_X.dita," where X is the APEX page number.
    * I run APEX using Oracle Application Server 10g, so I uploaded the files to a subdirectory of their own in the i/ folder on the OAS server. In my case this was APPSERVER_HOME/apache/apache/images/doc/MyAppHelp/
    * The DITA toolkit generates html pages that look for a CSS called commonltr.css, located at the same level as the index.html file. I copied my APEX theme's CSS file to that same place and renamed it commonltr.css (in my case that was APPSERVER_HOME/apache/apache/images/themes/theme_13/theme_V3.css). Now, the proper thing to do would be to configure DITA to point at the real location of the theme's CSS, I guess. But I didn't want to figure out how to do that at this point.
    * Now, in APEX, I deleted all of the page-level help text from my pages, since I had now duplicated this information into the DITA page concept topics. Instead, on each page I put
    * On the help page (the page that you create when you're first setting up Help in APEX, mine is page 50), I added the following iframe tags in the header text of the page: \\      &lt;iframe src="../../i/doc/gradevalhelp/index.html" width="40%" height="50%" align="left"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;iframe name="contentwin" src="../../i/doc/gradevalhelp/topics/Concept_About_page_&REQUEST..html" width="60%" height="50%" align="right"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br&gt; \\      Note the &lt;br&gt; at the end. I had to put that in to prevent the item level help from printing over my content iframe. Again, someone who knows something about html could probably tell you the right way to do that. The DITA toolkit generates a base tag (&lt;base target="contentwin"/&gt;) in the head section of the index.html file, to make the target of the TOC links be the content frame. Notice how I use it to map the links in the first iframe to the second iframe on the APEX help page, by naming the second frame "contentwin". Notice how the &REQUEST. Substitution string is used to present the proper DITA html file. I also tried setting it up to use a calculated hidden item that looks up the page alias for the requesting page; this had the advantage of allowing me to name my DITA files using page alias instead of page number, but it was too slow.

    Look at all the apdiv's you have.  Those are absolutely positioned layers.  I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS.  I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
    Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

  • TOC doesn't synchronize in merged HTMLHelp project

    This issue had been discussed several times. Peter Grainge offered a solution for WebHelp projects. Though I'm still looking for a solution on HTML Help projects with CHM output format.
    Situation:
    As the help file growed tremendously over time we'd like to split our MS HTML Help project in several sources resulting in a couple of *.chm files. Those refer to modules of our application suite. We successfully generated the help files and merged them using one clasping 'parent help file' based on the merge functionality of the TOC (table of contents) dialog. We use RH 7 in a Windows XP environment, language is German.
    Problem
    When the application calls a specific help topic from a child help file that had been meregd into a parent help file, then the TOC (left pane) doesn't synchronise / synchronize with the content of the right pane.
    Example
    Calling a specific topic from Visual Basic .NET code:
    Help.ShowHelp(Me, "C:\DEVELOP\myApp\help\myAppHelp.chm", "Basics.chm::/CommonDialogs/Print_Dialog.htm")
    As expected myAppHelp opens, in the right pane the correct topic "Print_Dialog" is presented, but the TOC on the left pane is not being expanded to this level. Expanding the TOC manually shows that all topics from the child help files are available.
    Further information
    1. We ensured to tick the related option "Auto-synchronize TOC" from the window dialog and the "Always show Selection" option of the advanced options for the project properties. Things work well, when calling a topic from the parent help file (TOC synchronises perfectly) or when the child help file is being accessed directly from the application.
    2. Based on the release notes for RH8 ...
    Merged project enhancements Merged project enhancements introduce the concept of a child project referring to a master TOC. Child projects automatically synchronize with the merged TOC, and you can see the merged TOC in the child projects.
    ... I asked someone to import my sources in RH8 and generate all output. It still doesn't work.
    Any hints on existing or up-coming solutions are highly appreciated. Kind regards,
    Pinkepunk

    In Project Manager you should see Table of Contents listed. From what you say, instead of setting up the default TOC, you elected to create a new one. That will be confirmed by you seeing two entries under Table of Contents.
    Then probably what happened is instead of setting the wizard to use the new TOC, you left it with the default so you generated using the default instead of the TOC you had created.
    Double click the Primary Layout and change the TOC used in the first page to your new one and it should be OK.
    If you double click a TOC in Project Manager, you should see it open in a pod.

  • Possible to Have ToC Default to Show Only Top Level (collapse sublevels)?

    Howdy!
    I'll bet I'm not the only one wishing for this.  Let's say you're using Captivate 4's Table of Contents feature with a longish movie of Cp slides, which is chunked into bite-size sections content-wise.  In the ToC, though, you can't mimic that same organization scheme; at least, the learner would first need to collapse all the ToC folders you've created so they see only the top-level listing.
    This can be a critical issue:  keeping the at-first-glance list in the ToC brief enough to be inviting to learners, yet allowing learners to drive which details are currently visible.
    A movie's topical hierarchy could be along these lines, for example ...
    Section 1 - National Brands
    What are National Brands?
    Why Are They Important to Our Business?
    Working with Nat. Brands
    Practice Your Knowledge
    Section 2 - International Brands
    What are International Brands?
    Why Are They Important to Our Business?
    Working with Intl. Brands
    Practice Your Knowledge
    You'd like to organize the ToC to show only the section titles (1st level) and to suppress the 2nd-level detail (slide titles) until the learner chooses to expand the folder to see those details.
    I've tried things like grouping the slides into sections in the Storyboard view and organizing the slides into sections strictly within the ToC -- both to no avail.
    Has anyone solved for this need yet?
    I'm all ears, and you'd be doing learners of the world a huge favor.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Jim.
    Thanks for being 'on the case' and looking into this so quickly.  Your
    findings are encouraging, although my user base is generally working with
    IE 6 and FP8 or 9.
    Since the only thing I may influence is getting  IT to help push out FP10,
    I'm hoping it's more of a player- than a browser-version issue.
    I'll test things out by Monday and let you know the results.  Wish me luck!
