Nesting One TOC into Another TOC for a Different Target?

Post by beagley »

While building TOCs for different targets, is there any way to add one TOC as a folder in another TOC?

More details:
I have a master WebHelp that includes several different products: A, B, C, and D.

I also build a WebHelp for just ONE of those topics: C.

I just created a detailed TOC for the C WebHelp Target, a WebHelp for the single product. Now I want to include that TOC as a book inside of my master (A, B, C, and D) WebHelp.

I suspect there's a way to copy/paste or select a bunch of stuff and drag... but is there some way of setting things up so that I only have to maintain the TOC for C so that the larger, master TOC will automatically include whatever is in the other TOC?

Answer: Yes.

This was easier than I thought.

1. Create a new book inside the master TOC.
2. Open Properties for that TOC item (right-click, Properties)
3. Select Basic-->Link-->Select TOC..
4. Select the TOC that the book should link to.
