our legal department just asked us to do the same thing ... must be that time of year ;). we found that using the Find in File seemed to speed up the process.

congrats on publishing a new guide. can't access lulu from work .... super awesome ... but i was curious if you discussed rel tables to the point of exhaustion

i don't know too much about what you are hoping for but i think the coolest things would be:

setting a heading to not be displayed in a toc but show in a mini-toc to actually work
set which columns are displayed in a relationship table proxy
a gui option to pull the 1st heading instead of the title ...

When I set mc-heading-level to 0 and left mc-toc-depth to 6, it didnt post the h6 in the PDF TOC but it didnt post the h6 in the mini-proxies either. I tested the mc-heading-level and mc-toc-depth elements to see what results I could get. Here are the different tests that I ran:

mc-heading-level: 6 ...

I have been working with this again, and I am running into an issue with my short description being pulled into the PDF TOC (the left hand pane). I would like to remove the h6.shortdesc from being pulled into the TOC but not remove it from the mini-toc proxies .... any thoughts?

been there done that :D

but, exciting news in some recent developments with my relationship (i just thought of the dane cook joke about bad relationships when i typed this and it makes my stomach hurt) table.

SO, we found out that we were ...

yea, it seems pretty easy to drag and drop files into the rel tbl to meet the needs of the team, and it is actually a great way to stay organized ... now if only i could seperate the different columns to different sections of a topic


::cough / nudge / wink-wink::

::cough:: some of you might remember this from the beta threads ::cough::

so my team wants to implement rel tables into our documentation but split the tasks into pre req procedures and post req procedures (aka before you start and whats next). i figured using a rel tbl to implement this change ...

hoooray, forfear comes through in the clutch! i'll give it a try.

zero errors. I am looking at another post on the html forums that might do the trick, trying something out.

My HTML Help file is taking 15 minutes to build and when it finishes it is a whopping 248kb and won't open.

any suggestions?

/cry

Ok, so after re-reading your post, my thread(s) in the beta forum might not be exactly what you are looking for ... i wanted to create some really advanced outputs with my relationship table cut up and placed throughout a topic instead of in one section, which I was unsuccessful with and eventually ...

wow, havent been on the forums, and i was actually hoping to run into someone that needed info on relationship tables, no really ... i've got issues ....

Thanks.
