Lists of Effective Pages and Sections

[Writer]

Kristy, by structured, do you mean DITA? If so (and assuming your goal 
is to make a book PDF or something similar), save your ditamap as a 
FrameMaker book with FrameMaker components, and then add your front 
matter, TOC, formatting, etc. Don't try to do your formatting or fancy 
work in the DITA files themselves.

If you don't mean DITA, what do you mean by structured?

The entire document is structured except for these lists and the TOCs. (If there is a way to generate these in structure, I am all for it, but not sure how to do that. Even the reference books I have don't seem to address the two together.)

On the reference page all of them are showing up as<$elemtextonly>  in its paragraph [e.g., RevisionDate()LOP]. When I was in unstructured Frame, I could move these elements to a different paragraph and still retain the piece I was looking for. If I move the current $elemtextonly, it defaults to the new paragraph (understandable). The only way I have found to retain the right information is keeping all in separate paragraphs, but I am looking to have a title with a leader line to its revision date in one paragraph.
