Adding a bullet image to mini TOC Proxy entries

[arnonbo]

All,

I have included a min TOC proxy in my masterpages for webhelp output. I would like each entry in the generated mini TOC to have a bullet image in front of it. How can this be done? I have not been able to locate the required property in the style definition.

Thanks for your help.

To style the items in the miniTOC, use the classes p.MiniTOC1, p.MiniTOC2, etc. (for different levels).
It's in the help here:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... iniTOC.htm

To include an image, you could set it as a background image on the p.MiniTOC style (and include some padding to indent the text).

Alternatively, to display items with a regular bullet, set the display property to list-item (instead of block).

Thank you! This does the job.

I am trying to make my mini-toc's a bulleted list but it does not seem to be working for me as described here.

Here are my mini-toc style settings. Any ideas on how to make this work?

MadCap|miniTocProxy
{
border-top-style: none;
padding-top: 0px;
color: #0078b6;
mc-toc-depth: 2;
display: list-item;
text-align: left;
}

p.MiniTOC1,
p.MiniTOC2
{
mc-pagenum-display: none;
}

It looks like Flare hard-codes the p.MiniTOC display to block, so to change them to a list-item use:

Code: Select all

p.MiniTOC1,
p.MiniTOC1_0,
p.MiniTOC2,
p.MiniTOC2_0
{
	display: list-item !important;
	list-style-type: disc;
}

ok well making progress. I want each line in the mini-toc to be bulleted.

here is my css:

MadCap|miniTocProxy
{
border-top-style: none;
padding-top: 0px;
color: #0078b6;
mc-toc-depth: 2;
display: list-item;
list-style-type: disc;
text-align: left;
}

p.MiniTOC1,
p.MiniTOC1_0,
p.MiniTOC2,
p.MiniTOC2_0
{
mc-pagenum-display: none;
display: list-item !important;
list-style-type: disc;


here is what the output looks like now:

I was able to get this to work, but I only changed the p.MiniTOC1 properties. Try removing the display: list-item and list-style-type: disc properties from the miniTocProxy. Here's what my CSS looks like:

Code: Select all

p.MiniTOC1
{
	color: #0000ff;
	font-weight: normal;
	text-decoration: underline;
	display: list-item;
	list-style-type: disc;
}

MadCap|miniTocProxy
{
	color: #0000ff;
}

I've been trying to get this to work and failing, before realising that the solution was for webhelp and not print output. Does anyone know whether you can add bullets to a minitoc proxy for print output?

I have to say that I've queried this with MadCap and they say not, but there are some clever people out there...

Thanks,

Apologies in advance for dredging up an old thread, but I've been trying to get this to work for print as well.

Have tried this to no avail:

Code: Select all

p.MiniTOC1, p.MiniTOC2, p.MiniTOC3 {
	mc-auto-number-format: '\25a0 ';
}

Is it possible to hide the numbering from the section titles in the mini-TOC?

[myronr]

Took me a couple of years, but here's a hack for this.

Code: Select all

div.Introduction td:nth-child(odd):before {
	content: "\25BA ";
	font-size: 1.5em;
	line-height: -0.75em;
}

Just wrap your proxy in that div tag.
