OK,
Please have pity on my senior mind. It's been sooooooooooooooo long since I have had to set certain formats up from scratch in Framemaker, that I am just going bonkers trying to remember how I did something before. Here's my current conundrum: On the first page of each chapter, I have the following tags: 1. ChapterNumber, with the numbering set to N:Chapter <$chapnum>. At the book level, I set Chapter Numbering to 1 for the first chapter in the book, and Continue numbering from previous chapter for all subsequent chapters. The tag is set to start at the top of a page. 2. ChapterTitle, which immediately follows ChapterNumber, and is set to Keep with Previous Paragraph. In each of my chapters in a book, I have Sections. The Sections are denoted with a special master page layout that is different from the first page of the chapter. On this page, I use several paragraph tags including the following: 1. Section Number, with the numbering set to the following: S:Section <n+>. The tag is set to start at the top of a page. 2. Section Title. This is the tag that immediately follows SectionNumber. This tag is set to keep with the previous paragraph. At the book level, I have paragraph tag numbering to start over for each chapter, so the first time I use SectionNumber in a chapter, it is numbering correctly as Section 1, and then followed by Section 2, etc. For my TOC, I have selected the requisite tags, including ChapterTitle and SectionTitle. 1. For my ChapterTitleTOC tag, here is the format: Chapter <$chapnum>: <$paratext>. . . . .<$pagenum> and I get the following output for example: Chapter 1: Wiggle the Widget. . . . . . 17. I need to set up an analogous SectionTitleTOC tag : Section 1: Section Title contents, Section 2: Section Title contents, etc., and I guess I am missing the boat on this one. I can go through all the iterations that I have tried, but no matter what I try, I wind up with the following: Section: <Section Title>. I cannot get the section number to show up after the word "Section" like I can for ChapterTitle. I am sure it's because the <$chapnum> is a book-level variable vs. paragraph tag numbering for SectionNumber, but I am at a loss to understand any further. If any of you gurus out there can point me to what I am doing wrong, and provide some insight, I would be most appreciative. I had this working ages ago in another manual, but that manual is no longer in my possession, so I can't refer to it for clarification.
