Cross references and TOC mc-heading-level

[Titus]

Hello,

This is my first time posting here, so go easy on me..

I found on these forums that I could expand the list of headings that appear in my cross-references list by setting the mc-heading-level values accordingly (this way I wouldn't have to manually create bookmarks for all lower level headings and xref those). Unfortunately, this also adds unnecessary headings, namely H4 through H6, to my PDF Table of Contents.

I experimented with a few different things, like toc-depth (which is apparently only for miniTOCs), and setting PrintSupport attributes for p.TOC4-6 (like mc-heading-level = 0) but all to no avail.

Is there any way to get all headings to show up in the cross-reference list without using mc-heading level, or such that they won't also appear in the TOC?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Titus,

You mentioned that you set the PrintSupport attributes for p.TOC4-6 to mc-heading-level: 0;

If you don’t want headings 4-6 to show up in the TOC, use that setting on H4, H5, and H6 rather than on the p.TOCs.

Hi Angela,

Yep, that's what I do, and that's what I want. But I also want to be able to cross-reference those headings without having to manually add bookmarks, and I found that the way to do so was to use the mc-heading-level attribute (which of course, unfortunately, adds those headings in the TOC as well).

Anyway, thanks for your input! It is much appreciated.

What you're trying to do is not possible.
You cannot have autobookmarks on elements with a heading level greater that 1 but hide those elements from the toc.
That is at least my experience so far.

I tried this for a while an gave up.
As soon something has a heading level 1+ it will show up in the toc.
And as soon as something has heading level set to 0 it won't be able to be cross-referenced automatically.

Thanks gbusch, that's what I figured. I don't know why they have to use the same attribute, but it is what it is...

Cheers!

It seems i was wrong.
Just read this workaround for auto-cross-reference-able image captions: http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... 75#p105275
I think you can also use it for your purposes.
