List of Effective Sections

[Kristy Nolan]

Hi, Bodvar!

Right now it appears that the LEP was all hard-coded, but I am not tied
to it, since I am breaking it into sections smaller than a page. My
first guess was that it would work well with markers, but I can't figure
out how this is accomplished. I have tried the methods that Clint and
Richard suggested. I like how it is working using run-in paras, but not
sure how it will work when I WebWorks it. It is an unstructured
document. 

I'd like to see a sample to see if I can mimic it (to an extent). And
very happy for the help!
Thanks!
Kristy

Hi Kristy,

I would need some more information about how the LEP is built. Is it
built on markers or does it read some hard text or variables from the
pages?

I have several versions, both structured and unstructured, which I could
send you a sample of, if you like (confidential, of course).
Mainly, I go for markers in unstructured and attributes in structured.
Then I rather skip the LEP(LES) and have the TOC read the revision
status of the headings and in order to count for all pages, just add a
dash and the last page number of the main section involved. This method
has been agreed to by the Authorities.

Further, this method helps if you have to convert the document to any
pageless format, like HTML.

Best regards.
