I use a "review" TOC to add topics to for review so I can output only review topics and attach the PDFs to Jira cards and post them to doc review Slack channels and so reviewers don't have to wade through a whole manual to find what they need to review.
I want to do this:
In the target settings, I have the "Use TOC depth for heading levels" setting selected. Yet the resulting TOC ignores the top level, leaving me with a "flat" TOC with nothing to divide the review sections:
What's going on here?
Why aren't empty books in PDF output?

Re: Why aren't empty boosk in PDF output?
I'm not in Flare at the moment, so I'm going on memory. There's a setting someplace that tells Flare to inject pages/topics in output for those TOC items that are not linked to topics. I'd suspect that's the issue. Hope this is enough to get you pointed in the right direction.

Thanks Nita! That's exactly it.
Y'know, though, even though I managed to overlook that setting that's _right underneath_ the "Use TOC depth for heading levels" setting, it sort of boggles the mind that when you use the latter setting and build a very specifically organized TOC that you'd need to also set the former.
