Hi Lynne, Thank you so much! I will take a look at implementing this today. This list rocks.

The format of one TOC entry cannot include information from multiple paragraphs (or elements in a structured document). However, you can create two entries that appear on one line by making the first one a run-in head. In your case, you can enter SectionNumber in the TOC, using <$paranum> and formatting that paragraph as a run-in head. Also enter SectionTitle in the TOC using <$paratext>. As long as all sections are consistent in the use of both paragraphs at the beginning, the result should be what you want. --Lynne On 3/15/2021 8:36 AM, tamm...@spectrumwritingllc.com wrote: > SectionNumber is an auto-numbered tag used within a chapter file > whereas the tag that immediately follows, SectionTitle, is not > auto-numbered.

Re: [Framers] Help with setting up a paragraph tag in the TOC
Hi, Lynne! I think that's what I suggested generally. Your specificity is much more helpful! On Mon, Mar 15, 2021, 11:48 AM Lynne A.

Tammy, If I understand the issue, you are trying to make a single TOC entry that has the autonumber of the SectionNumber paragraph followed by the text of the SectionTitle paragraph. The format of one TOC entry cannot include information from multiple paragraphs (or elements in a structured document). However, you can create two entries that appear on one line by making the first one a run-in head.

Re: [Framers] Help with setting up a paragraph tag in the TOC
Hi All, I appreciate all the responses. Here's the summary: > SectionNumber is an auto-numbered tag used within a chapter file > whereas the tag that immediately follows, SectionTitle, is not > auto-numbered. The numbering is not at the file level such as with > $Chapnum, so <$sectionnum> is not an option. I have tried all iterations including <$paranum> before <$paratext>, but no luck. . . . In a nutshell, . I am trying to extract a paragraph number from one tag (SectionNumber) and get it assigned to another tag (SectionTitle) when generating the TOC. I have punted for now, and come up w/ a less than elegant solution, but it works and I have to move on to bigger fish to fry, but I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!
