Hey everybody,
I discovered something else that may be related to the styles template.
I'm not sure if this is also related to the list styles issue, but if
you apply the template to a document it causes the references in the
Table of Contents to go away.
At first I wasn't sure what was happening while I was working on Chapter
2 of the Writer Guide. I thought the Table of Contents for just that
chapter was busted somehow (i.e. if you download the current "visible"
version the ToC functionality is goofy: no Ctrl+click). Today, though,
I discovered that the ToC was also broken in the template test to
Chapter 1 that I recently uploaded to the Feedback folder. Looking back
at Jean's version, the ToC is fine, but not in mine. I then tested it
against Chapter 3. Downloading from the site, the ToC is fine (you can
Ctrl+click on a listing in the ToC and it'll take you there; you can
right click and select Edit, and nothing bad happens). However, if you
apply the template the appearance of the ToC doesn't change, but the
functionality fails (no more Ctrl+click, and if you try to right-click
and select Edit the entire ToC will go away).
I'm not sure what the problem is with Chapter 2 specifically, but there
are a lot of broken references in it. The *20080715 version comes with
a bad ToC, among other bad references throughout. I've been held up a
little on my review of Chapter 2, trying to understand what's going on
with it, but I've resigned to just focus more on the content at this
point. Formatting for Chapter 2 of the WG may need some special kind of
love to get it right again.
Thanks,
Sak.
