[Framers] Help with setting up a paragraph tag in the TOC

[Lynne A. Price]

Tammy,

    If I understand the issue, you are trying to make a single TOC entry 
that has the autonumber of the SectionNumber paragraph followed by the 
text of the SectionTitle paragraph. The format of one TOC entry cannot 
include information from multiple paragraphs (or elements in a 
structured document). However, you can create two entries that appear on 
one line by making the first one a run-in head. In your case, you can 
enter SectionNumber in the TOC, using <$paranum> and formatting that 
paragraph as a run-in head. Also enter SectionTitle in the TOC using 
<$paratext>. As long as all sections are consistent in the use of both 
paragraphs at the beginning, the result should be what you want.
