"unexpeced token" error
The code below was generated by a webstore. When I insert this code I get this error when I try to open it in the WYSIWYG editor: "[XML: 'hspace' is an unexpeced token. The expected token is '='. Line 13, position 202.]" What do I need to do to this code to fix this code? Thanks, Jeff G. <...

Re: Section Numbers in TOC, Index, and XRef
Thanks for posting, Jane. It does seem like there is an obvious need for this feature.

Re: Section Numbers in TOC, Index, and XRef
Thanks, it is good to know that I'm not alone. I believe I've entered this as a bug, but it wouldn't hurt if you did as well. It might increase the likelihood that MadCap fixes it in the next version.

Re: Section Numbers in TOC, Index, and XRef
I never had a problem with including my autonumbers in my TOC, but thanks anyway. The autonumbers appeared without much hassle that I remember. If this is a problem for someone, I'll see if I can delve into it and figure out how I did it without problem. The reason for this post in the first place w...

Re: Section Numbers in TOC, Index, and XRef
I set my TOC1 mc-auto-number-format to {chapternum}.{page} and rebuilt my PDF. It seems that this setting was completely ignored. Any other ideas? Did I do what you suggest correctly?

Re: Section Numbers in TOC, Index, and XRef
Another week has past and still no one has told me clearly whether or not it is posible to add chapter numbers to my TOC, Index, and Xrefs. I'm still betting I'm up a creak, but it seems like such a common need that it surprises me that it is missing from the software.

Re: Auto Number Vertically Centered
The screen shot is from the WebHelp output. The only options for mc-leader-align are center, inherit, left, and right. There isn't an option for top or bottom. I'm not sure what that option means and it is only set to inherit because I was messing with hoping, like you, that it was the answer to my ...

Auto Number Vertically Centered
In the example below, the J is vertically centered on the paragraph. I would rather it be flush with the top of the paragraph. Any ideas on how to do this? If it helps, this only happens in my WebHelp output and not in my direct to PDF output. Also, I'm using v. 4.0. AutoNumberVerticallyCentered.jpg

doc_guy, I think your tip will work. I haven't tried it yet, but it sure sounds plausible. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

Re: How do I mimic Word's column feature?
I looked at text boxes, but I couldn't find a "column" property for them. I could create two text boxes side by side, but that too would be more trouble than it is worth.

Re: How do I mimic Word's column feature?
Yeah, if you go that route you have to create a modified version of each style you want to use in the table. Then, I've had problems getting paragraph styles to appear the same in a table as they would if they weren't in a table. I've had much better luck keeping things simple by using the TD and TH...

Re: How do I mimic Word's column feature?
I experimented with Word 2007 and no dice. The HTML it outputs just has the text in a single column. I guess this just isn't possible in HTML without tables. Here's a corallary question, does Flare have a "Convert Text to Table" feature? If it is there, I've looked and haven't found it.

Re: How do I mimic Word's column feature?
Thanks, but I don't think I made myself clear. Here's the situation. I have several long lists where each bullet point is one to five words long. I would like to make these lists double columned to conserve paper and make them look better. I don't want the entire page double columned, just the list....

Re: Section Numbers in TOC, Index, and XRef
I posted this a while ago and haven't heard from anyone. I'm assuming that what I'm asking is impossible. At least tell me I'm right so I can stop spinning my wheels on this. BTW I'm using 4.0.

How do I mimic Word's column feature?
I want columns just like Microsoft Word has, but I don't want to do it with tables. Is there a way to take a list and make it balance itself between columns without a lot of effort or headache?

Section Numbers in TOC, Index, and XRef
I need the section number included with my page number in my TOC, Index, and XRefs. I've looked and looked and couldn't find anything in the online help or on this site. This seems so basic that I must be missing something simple. Below is rough sample TOC of what I need. The index would be similar....
