TOC Chapter # Troubles

[Art Campbell]

James,

You don't mention the setup on the Reference Pages of your TOC file,
which is what controls the formatting of the TOC entries as far as
what variables are invoked. The other info you provided controls the
formatting of the TOC entries, but not the content of them.

Page through the reference pages until you reach the section that
contains the TOC entries -- standard title is "Table of Contents
Specification." There's one entry for each type of tag you include --
a line for heading1, a line for heading2, etc.

I'm betting that the entries don't contain or use the <$chapnum> .

You probably have something like <$paratext> <$pagenum> in place and
you need to have
<$paratext><$chapnum>-<$pagenum>. Be sure to include tab stops where
appropriate.

Make the change, save the file, and update again.
