Structured Frame Maker issue
Hello Everyone, I wonder if any one could solve this issue that I am facing when generating TOC in a Structured Book. 1. I have defined an element Index as EMPTY. 2. I have defined another element Glossary with some sub elements. 3. My book is defined with the above elements as optional with only one occurrence in it (Glossary?, Index?) 4. I have included both these elements in the TOC when generating it. The issue that I am facing is that I am getting the Glossary listing in the TOC but not the Index listing. I have tried the following to solve the issue but was unsuccessful. 1. Changed the Index element to contain a IndexHead element and using the IndexHead element in the TOC - Did not work. 2. Changed the Index element General Rule to IndexHead,TEXT and included the Index element in the TOC - Did not work. 3. Changed the Index element General Rule to IndexHead, IndexBody and included the IndexHead element in TOC - Did not work. 4. Same as above but included the IndexBody element instead - Did not work. I am at my wits end here. Any pointers to the right way of doing it would be greatly welcome.

Venkatesh, Entries in a TOC for a book are derived from elements or paragraphs in book components (the files in the book). Elements in the book itself cannot contribute to the TOC. Thus, if you add an empty Index element to your book, even if you set up the TOC to include Index, there will be no entry. Similarly, if you define Index to include IndexHead, and set up the TOC to include IndexHead, there will be no entry. If you want the Index element to correspond to an index generated by FrameMaker, define Index with a general rule of TEXT. Add an index to the book the way you would add an index to an unstructured book. A BOOK-COMPONENT bubble will appear in the Structure View for the book. Select this bubble and wrap an Index element around it so that your book structure is valid. Since the generated index is an unstructured file, you make its TOC entry by including a paragraph rather than an element in the TOC. Keeping the generated index unstructured, insert a title at the beginning of the index, using a paragraph format (such as IndexHead) that you do not use elsewhere. Make sure this paragraph format is defined in the paragraph catalog for the index. Then import paragraph formats from the index into the book so that this paragraph format is available when you set up the TOC. Set up the TOC to include this paragraph format. --Lynne Lynne A.
