Part Title Pages and TOC Issues in Flare

Post by doc_writer »

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to add part title pages before major chapters in Flare, but I’m running into some issues with autonumbering and TOC formatting.

For example, I want to have a page with "Part 1: Software Configuration" as a heading before a new section. However, I don’t want the part heading to use autonumbering, while my topic headings should still be numbered.

The problem is that even when I create a heading style without autonumbering, it still shows up with numbers in the TOC. Also, since I have two titles on the part title page, the second one gets pushed to a new page in the PDF output.

I also tried creating a custom style and adding it to the TOC, but it doesn’t appear there. At this point, I’m not sure what else to check. :D

Has anyone dealt with this before? Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Try setting the mc-heading-level property on your custom style. e.g. set it to 1 if you want it to be a top level heading. I think that will make it appear in the TOC.
