OK,
Please have pity on my senior mind. It's been sooooooooooooooo long since I
have had to set certain formats up from scratch in Framemaker, that I am
just going bonkers trying to remember how I did something before. Here's my
current conundrum:
On the first page of each chapter, I have the following tags:
1. ChapterNumber, with the numbering set to N:Chapter <$chapnum>. At
the book level, I set Chapter Numbering to 1 for the first chapter in the
book, and Continue numbering from previous chapter for all subsequent
chapters. The tag is set to start at the top of a page.
2. ChapterTitle, which immediately follows ChapterNumber, and is set to
Keep with Previous Paragraph.
In each of my chapters in a book, I have Sections. The Sections are denoted
with a special master page layout that is different from the first page of
the chapter. On this page, I use several paragraph tags including the
following:
1. Section Number, with the numbering set to the following: S:Section
<n+>. The tag is set to start at the top of a page.
2. Section Title. This is the tag that immediately follows
SectionNumber. This tag is set to keep with the previous paragraph.
At the book level, I have paragraph tag numbering to start over for each
chapter, so the first time I use SectionNumber in a chapter, it is numbering
correctly as Section 1, and then followed by Section 2, etc.
For my TOC, I have selected the requisite tags, including ChapterTitle and
SectionTitle.
1. For my ChapterTitleTOC tag, here is the format: Chapter <$chapnum>:
<$paratext>. . . . .<$pagenum> and I get the following output for example:
Chapter 1: Wiggle the Widget. . . . . . 17.
I need to set up an analogous SectionTitleTOC tag : Section 1: Section Title
contents, Section 2: Section Title contents, etc., and I guess I am missing
the boat on this one. I can go through all the iterations that I have tried,
but no matter what I try, I wind up with the following:
Section: <Section Title>.
I cannot get the section number to show up after the word "Section" like I
can for ChapterTitle. I am sure it's because the <$chapnum> is a book-level
variable vs. paragraph tag numbering for SectionNumber, but I am at a loss
to understand any further. If any of you gurus out there can point me to
what I am doing wrong, and provide some insight, I would be most
appreciative. I had this working ages ago in another manual, but that manual
is no longer in my possession, so I can't refer to it for clarification.
TIA,
