TOC and Index lists

Post by CanAussie »

G'day again,

How do I keep the title page, Toc list and index page out of the TOC and index lists?

Maybe you have set the start of the tilepage to a header, like H1?
You could create a new Paragraph style (p.title) to fulfil the needs at the top of this page. In my case I have an image containing variables (using Capture 3), but it is just a paragraph.

I have set the Table of Contents without any kind of setting, just the proxy:
toc.png
And ... the pagelayout for the TOC has the text 'Table of Contents' in the Header Frame.
You can do the same with the Index.

Is this what you mean?

Hi,

I don't think I have a header set, but will check when I hit the office tomorrow.

Thank you very much for your reply!

Cheers,

I use heading styles. My default <h1> tag I use for normal content pages. I have an h1 class called "noTOC" that has its mc-heading-level value set to 0. I apply that class to the "Contents" header, so it'll looks the same as the normal header in the final print, but the title "Contents" doesn't appear in the TOC itself.

I use the same approach as Lisa - I create a paragraph style that looks the same as my heading styles but set the mc-heading-level to 0.

I also have a version of the heading (and its copy) with the page break before property set to always. That way I can force page breaks as and when I need them.

Hi,

There is a lot of old code in this Robohelp imported project and I found a rouge H5 tag in there. Got rid of it and now the page does not show up in the TOC.

Thanks for your help!
