Creating Multiple TOCs in One Book

[Raj Kumar Gupta]

Hi Rick,

This is mentioned under section Update a book with child books and XML files in Documentation of FrameMaker 12 Help PDF
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/12.0/Help/using-framemaker-12.pdf


Here is the snippet from the documentation:
"Generated files, such as table of contents or index files from the child book are not included in the published output. This is because the generated files in the parent book contain information for the child book files as well. Also run book-wide operations separately for each book."

So This is As Designed.

Conceptually, sub-books--each containing their own TOC--should work, but when you make a PDF from the master book, the generated files in each sub-book don't appear in the PDF. I haven't figured out why, but have confirmed it in my tests.

You could put each language in one file and create a local TOC in each file. You also might be able to use subbooks and make TOCs for each subbook, but I've never used subbooks, so I don't know if seperate TOCs per subboks exist in FM.

Happy Monday!

What is the best way to set up multiple TOCs in the same book? I have a book containing 16 languages, with each language having its own TOC.  I need each of the 16 TOCs to display Heading 1s and Heading 2s in their own language only. I can generate multiple TOCs in my book, but my trouble is that each TOC shows me ALL the Heading 1s and Heading 2s in my book, so I get all 16 languages in each TOC. I can easily delete them from each of the 16 TOC files, but they come back every time I update the book.

The only thing I can think of doing is changing my Paragraph Tags in each language. So I'd have Heading 1_eng, Heading 1_fre, Heading 1_spa, etc. And then I'd have to apply those to every heading 1 and 2 in every one of my languages. That's a lot of work. There must be an easier way, right?

Thanks,
Alan
