WebHelp - Formatting mini-TOC

Post by tasteslikechicken »

I am using a mini-TOC at the top-level of each category of topics which creates an hyperlinked list of topics quite nicely. The problem I'm having is that I'd like to add a circle bullet at the beginning of each list-item. I can't figure out how to edit miniTocProxy style to add a bullet.

Any ideas?

I think you'll want to change the p.MiniTOC1, p.MiniTOC2, etc. styles.

Hi,

I too want to add bullets before each mini toc item. I have found the MINIToc1 P styles but how exactly do I add bullets?

Actually, this post shows how to do it using another method --> http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... toc#p28257

However, you should be able to do the same type of thing with the p.MiniTOC1 style. Set its display type (in the "Block" category) to list-item then select the type of list (under the "List" category). Both those categories are visible when you have the Stylesheet Editor set to advanced and have "Show: Property Groups" selected.

That worked perfectly.

FYI - I left the "list-style", "list-style-image" or "list-style-position" as "not set" and selected "circle" for the "list-style-type" and now have a great looking circle bullet list.

Thanks!

I am totally stumped. I added the following to my style sheet but the items in the mini toc are not displaying like a list.
div.MCMiniTocLink
{
display: list-item;
list-style-type: disc;
}
I am editing the stylesheet that my target points to
I made the changes on the non print medium which is what my target uses

I even tried Lisa's original and applied the same styles directly to the PMiniToc styles.

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on??

That post was for Flare v3, the MiniTOC formatting changed in v4.

In v4 you can set the style for MiniTOC items using p.miniTOC1 (to 9).

For example, try:

Code: Select all

p.miniTOC1
{
display: list-item;
list-style-type: disc;
}
