Structured: about containers, other matter and chapter numbering

[Theresa de Valence]

Hi Framers, thanks for all the help you’ve given me so far.

Naturally, I’ve got some more structured Frame questions.

To recap: I’m creating a structured book so that I can create one ebook 
out of two fiction novellas. I am aware that it’s possible to do this in 
an unstructured world, but I’m not.

In order to get the two novellas to display the correct title of the 
story (novella) on the master page, I understand I’ll need separate 
books (nested).

Let’s say my EDD begins:
Element (Container): FrameBook
Valid as the highest-level element.

To create the child-book, I will need
Element (Container): VolumeBook
then
Element (Container): Chapter
then
Element (Container): Section

As the chapter files are separate files, does the outside container 
(FrameBook) exist in the chapter files, or, do I list both VolumeBook 
and Chapter as "Valid as the highest-level element"?

In FrameBook, there will also be Front Matter and Back Matter. Can I use 
the Section element here or should I create a new element called 
OtherMatter?


One of the novellas has a Prologue. This behaves in most ways like a 
chapter except that no number is displayed and its leading caption 
(title) is different, i.e. Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2. In 
unstructured Frame, I cheated and took a bad shortcut. I copied the 
master page and took out the autonumber paratag so that "Chapter" 
doesn’t show up on the printed page. However, the TOC is not working 
right, so this is not a good solution.

--Do I use paratag "Chapter" for the prologue and then Format > Document 
 > Numbering to reset the second instance of Chapter to be =1 ?
--Do I remove the word "Chapter" from the master page? How then do I get 
the word "Chapter" to show up on all printed chapters except the 
Prologue (including the TOC)?
--Do I have one element or two in the EDD?


Hard to believe but I am progressing.

Thanks for your advice,
Theresa
