Another question re. TOC- Title not showing up when producing TOC

[Lynne A. Price]

Adriana,
   Did you ever get an answer to this question?
   Generated files are unstructured documents so there is no to import 
element definitions from an EDD into them.
   Are the Title elements really being ignored, or do they result in 
entries with no visible content? There are are least two reasons the latter 
could happen. One is that the generated content (as determined by the TOC 
reference page) may be empty. The other is that when an element contains 
more than one paragraph, only the first paragraph contributes to TOC 
entries. If a Title begins with a paragraph with no visible content, then 
the paragraph text will not contribute visible text to the TOC.
