Book attribute in running header/footer variable of generated TOC

[Jo H]

Hello,

I'm new to this list. Sorry if you receive this message twice.

But here's my question:

I'm working on a structured book that includes a TOC generated by FM.
The book structure looks like this:

[book]
      product = "asdfghj"
      version = "1.5"
--[contents]  ... manualTOC.fm
--[doc]       ... chapter1.fm
--[doc]       ... chapter2.fm

The running footer in all documents contains a variable with the
following definition:
<$attribute[product:book]> version <$attribute[version:book]>

The resulting footer in chapter1.fm and chapter2.fm is "asdfghj version 1.5".
The resulting footer in <contents> is just " version ", which probably
means that FM cannot retrieve the attributes on book level.

What could be wrong? Is it possible at all to refer to book attributes
from within a generated TOC?

I'm using FM 8.0p276 on Windows XP.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
