HTML 5 - TocEntry font styles

Post by tlewis »

In the WebHelp output, for TocEntry, you were able to set both specific icons and fonts for TocEntry styles. In the HTML 5 skin editor, it looks like while I can set icons with TocEntry styles, fonts are controlled only through the Navigation Panel Item, which I can't seem to add new classes with. Is there a way of giving items in the HTML 5 TOC different icons and fonts?

Thanks.

I can definitely add new classes with the Icons section, but I can't seem to add classes under Navigation Panel Item. Am I locked into a single font style for Navigation Panel Items?

In tri-pane, yes. However, in top nav you can set the font properties for each level.

If you want more control over the toc in a tri-pane, an alternative approach would be to use a customised top nav skin. I did that, removed the top-nav menu and used a smartmenus plug in to create an accordion menu that acts as the toc. If you search for a discussion between Dave Lee and myself on accordion menus, you will see how it is done. I would show you the ourput, but non-disclosure agreement unfortunately. I think it looks better than the usual toc though.
