Robert,

You wrote:

TOC paragraph tags in this project have a single Right tab stop at the 
right margin.

If a heading is just the wrong length, only the page number is bumped 
the next line and appears at the left margin. If it's enough longer 
that a word wraps to the next line, the page number is at the right 
place.

Is there a fix for this other than the kludge of putting a non-breaking 
space between the last two words of the heading?

foo . . . . . . . . . . 1
bar bar bar bar bar
2
bar bar bar bar bar
  bar . . . . . . . . . 3


For the TOC paragraph tags:
Specify a value such as 200% for Minimum Word Spacing (Pgf Designer, Advanced 
tab); make it higher or lower to adjust the wrap region as needed.

In the TOC reference page, TOC flow:
Specify an additional tab between $paratext and $pagenum, eg 
$paratext\t\t$pagenum
(note: I prefer using \t instead of the Tab character as it is always visible; 
the tab itself is used on the body page and may not be interpreted  properly in 
the Ref page anyway because of the different column width)

I'm not sure what you mean by isn't this just as simple as changing the 
paragraph setting of your second and subsequent lines to start at the point of 
the end of the leader dot's of the first line?  If I understand what you are 
saying, wouldn't we end up with a long indent on those lines?

On Jerilynne's comment, 

Another way I've done this is to insert at least 3 tab characters (not tab
stops) before the page number. Maybe that will give you a bit of automation for 
those long entries.

... Jerilynne means, on the reference page for the TOC or other generated 
file.

this is something that I tried long ago, and it never worked for me. As a 
matter of fact these LOT and LOF reference page entries already had three tab 
characters in them. Adding more didn't help.  

Again, the problem arises when the title is just long enough to break the line 
before the chapter-page number without bringing any text to the second line. 
The only solution that appears to work reliably is to put a variable with 
several em spaces as its definition. On some titles, adding non-breaking 
space(s) to bring one or more words to the second line improves readability.

Has anyone taken FrameMaker source files and used WebWorks ePublisher to import 
the content to a Confluence wiki?   If so, besides the initial set up of 
stationary and page formats, is the process fairly effortless?   If you make 
changes in the source FrameMaker files, and go through WebWorks ePublisher to 
Confluence again, do you need to clean-up the wiki each time?  Currently, I'm 
using FM 11 for the source user guide files and we have Confluence 5.1.2.

I tried to convert the FM files to RTF and then import them to Confluence, but 
there's a lot of clean up and the numbered steps turn into bullets. It's not 
worth the pain.  I also have the Tech Comm Suite 4, so I do have RoboHelp and 
am going to try converting the FM files to a Word printout via RoboHelp and 
then importing the Word document into Confluence.

Just trying to find the cleanest and least painful avenue for getting FM source 
files into Confluence, since we'll be maintaining the source files in FM for 
each release.

Thanks for any help or feedback,
Mary Jo

Also, while this may not work in this case, I often control line breaks in

The Problem with Long Titles in Generated Lists

2013-06-16 Thread Ragnar Hanås 
I agree, this manual work of inserting soft returns to the index is very
irritating. 

Your solution didn?t work for me. On the reference page I have



><$pagenum> (the first ?>? is a tab stop)

I tried

>\t<$pagenum> and >\t\t\t<$pagenum>

But it did not change the index output



Still looks like this:

Nhgjgkjgjhgkh ghgjhg 
..154, 217
   232



And for other entries:

Nhgjgkjgjhgkh ghgjhg 
..154, 217
   232 











.268, 395



Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ragnar Hanas

RE: The Problem with Long Titles in Generated Lists

2013-06-04 Thread Reng, Dr. Winfried 
Hi,

As suggested you need to add an additional tab before the page number
on the reference page. Then the page number in the second line will appear
right justified again.

However, it might happen that the text in the first line extends into the
page number area. Some weeks ago I got a solution to correct this:
In the paragraph designer in the Advanced tab change the
minimum value of the word spacing to something which is higher
than the max value. I use 200 % Minimum and 125 % Maximum.
This way the line breaks before a word extends into the area of the
page numbers.

Best regards

Winfried

2013-06-04 Thread Fred Ridder 
But note that this approach has an unwanted (and probably unacceptable) side 
effect if your generated list uses leader dots. The problem is that the 
em-spaces produce a really noticeable gap between the end of the title string 
and the start of the leader dots.

The approach that Jerilynne proposed yesterday works well (although only one 
extra tab is needed in the reference page prototype paragraph rather than the 
at least 3 that Jerilynne mentions) and has no nasty side effect. It has 
worked beautifully for me for years.

Chris Despoupolis's (sp?) TocBreaker might be of use. You'd have to insert
your soft returns once and run TocBreaker to save the information. After
that, you run TocBreaker after regenerating. (http://cudspan.net/) It works
with all generated lists.

The Problem with Long Titles in Generated Lists

2013-06-03 Thread Jerilynne Knight 
Another way I've done this is to insert at least 3 tab characters (not tab
stops) before the page number. Maybe that will give you a bit of automation
for those long entries.

Thanks for correcting that Stuart (was multi-tasking, not wise!)

The Problem with Long Titles in Generated Lists

2013-06-01 Thread Jay Mahler 
I'm sure you've all had the problem with TOCs, LOTs, LOFs, and even indexes. 
When the title reaches the end of the line (or too many index entries), the tab 
character that should position the page number at right aligned tab doesn't 
work, and the page number appears left justified on the second line with or 
without continued text. I've always gone through and manually fixed the issue 
by inserting soft returns after the lists are generated, but I have a client 
with a huge document and LOTs and LOFs that are 20 pages each. Has anyone 
figured out an automated way to fix this problem? My experiments haven't turned 
up a solution.

Also, since I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has asked this question, 
I wanted to search old posts and the archives. I can't figure out how to do 
that other than looking at each month manually. Is there a search tool 
available somewhere?
