TOC formatting

Good Morning Everyone,
I am using Epic Editor 5.3M60 and a fosi.
I have subparas where the title is optional .
The problem is that these subparas report to the toc.
It is driving me nuts. I can't figure out how to tell the fosi, that if title doesn't follow the para tag, do not report to the toc.
Any suggestions.

We have a similar need. Call this ACL in an <att> rule.

#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# get_next_oid_name
#
# From a FOSI call, return the name of the next element, or nothing
# if no sibling element.
#
# Originally coded for use with graphic e-i-c to test for following
# graphic when deciding whether to start next page after graphic.
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------

function get_next_oid_name(window, oid)
{
return oid_name(oid_next(oid));
}

Can't do this in FOSI without the ACL.

Sindy,

Here is the actual data from my FOSI that does what you want (I think):

Set up a style set for "toc" and one for "no.toc"

<charsubset charsubsetid="subpara.title.toc">

<hyphen inherit="0" hyph="1">
<quadding inherit="0" quad="left">
<highlt scoring="1" scorewt="1pt" scorechr="_" scorespc="1">
<presp minimum="5pt" nominal="6pt" maximum="7pt" condit="discard" priority="med">
<keeps keep="1" next="1">
<savetext textid="subparatitle.appear.tdv" conrule="\yes\">
<usetext source="labelstr.tdv," 0.3em"=" placemnt="before">
<subchars>

<textbrk startln="0" endln="0">
</subchars>
</usetext>
<usetext source="\.\," 1em"=" placemnt="after">
<subchars>
<highlt scoring="0">
</subchars>
</usetext>
<savetext textid="pagenum.tdv" conrule="pgprefix.tdv," pagect.tdv[bo]"=">
<savetext textid="voltocmatter.tiv" conrule="<newline">, <toc-entry.fmt>, 1.5em, labelstr.tdv, @6.5em, #CONTENT, sssn.tdv, tocfill, </toc-entry.fmt>, <tocnumx>, pagenum.tdv, </tocnumx>, </newline>" append="1">
<savetext textid="tocmatter.tiv" conrule="<newline">, <toc-entry.fmt>, 1.5em, labelstr.tdv, @6.5em, #CONTENT, sssn.tdv, tocfill, </toc-entry.fmt>, <tocnumx>, pagenum.tdv, </tocnumx>, </newline>" append="1">
</charsubset>

<charsubset charsubsetid="subpara.title.no.toc">

<hyphen inherit="0" hyph="0">
<quadding inherit="0" quad="left">
<highlt scoring="1" scorewt="1pt" scorechr="_" scorespc="1">
<presp minimum="5pt" nominal="6pt" maximum="7pt" condit="discard" priority="med">
<keeps keep="1" next="1">
<savetext textid="pagenum.tdv" conrule="pgprefix.tdv," pagect.tdv[bo]"=">
<savetext textid="subparatitle.appear.tdv" conrule="\yes\">
<usetext source="labelstr.tdv," 0.3em"=" placemnt="before">
<subchars>

<textbrk startln="0" endln="0">
</subchars>
</usetext>
<usetext source="\.\," 1em"=" placemnt="after">
<subchars>
<highlt scoring="0">
</subchars>
</usetext>
</charsubset>

Then, in the e-i-c's for the specific tags (I want a toc entry for subpara2, but not for subpara3) call the approprate style set:

<e-i-c gi="title" context="subpara2">
<charlist envname="titleenv" charsubsetref="subpara.title.toc">
<textbrk startln="1">
<savetext textid="subparatitle.appear.tdv" conrule="\yes\">
<savetext textid="pagenum.tdv" conrule="pgprefix.tdv," pagect.tdv[bo]"=">
</charlist>
</e-i-c>

<e-i-c gi="title" context="subpara3">
<charlist envname="titleenv" charsubsetref="subpara.title.no.toc">
<textbrk startln="1">
<savetext textid="subparatitle.appear.tdv" conrule="\yes\">
<savetext textid="pagenum.tdv" conrule="pgprefix.tdv," pagect.tdv[bo]"=">
</charlist>
</e-i-c>

<e-i-c gi="para" context="subpara2">

I think what you need is #FOSI. I just added an example, title-exists-yn.pdf, to my web site at

Can you send the e-i-c for subpara2? If those are showing up in your TOC
even when they do not have a title as a child, that's the e-i-c that is the
most likely suspect. Typically (someone correct me if I'm wrong), that is
not how it's done. Typically, the TOC is updated on the title element in
context of subpara2 (which is shown in the code Andy submitted ... well, his
application's version of subpara2).

I'm with Paul, and apologize for earlier post. I read your words without looking at the graphic.

The TITLE does not follow the SUBPARA1, it is its child. My ACL is specifically for checking a following element.

My bad,

You might want to try the following...

On the subpara element, create two savetexts:

<savetext textid="toc-entry" conrule="" placement="before">
<savetext textid="toc-app" conrule="toc-entry" placement="after" append="1">

On the title element, put a savetext to create the TOC entry:

<savetext textid="toc-entry" conrule="<toc-fmt">Title Text</toc-fmt>">

where <toc-fmt> is a pseudo-element that specifies the formatting for the TOC entry.

The save to the TOC will occur at the end of the subpara element processing. If <title> is missing, the second savetext on the subpara will append nothing to the TOC variable toc-app.

Sindy,

I've had a look at the e-i-cs you provided.

In the e-i-c for <subpara2> it appears you are using an attribute named 'label' to create the TOC entry. Is the content of this attribute the same text as appears in <title> or is it something else?

Unless the text for the TOC differs from the text entered in <title>, an attribute shouldn't be necessary. If they are different, putting this attribute on <title> would be a better idea.

On the <title> element, the savetext would then be either of the following:

<savetext textid="toc-entry" conrule="<toc-fmt">#CONTENT</toc-fmt>"> for the <title> as entered

OR

<savetext textid="toc-entry" conrule="<toc-fmt">#CONTENT(label)</toc-fmt>"> for the attribute text.

Cheers,

David

I am pretty sure this test:

<specval attname="label" attloc="subpara2" attval="#ANY">
will be found TRUE if the label attribute is present whether or not it
contains content. Is this attribute present but set ="? Can you try running
your output having deleted the attribute? Do you get the expected/desired
TOC output if you fill the attribute?

If this is the case, one path to happiness will be figuring out how to
detect whether the label attribute has content vs. is defined.

I believe that using #NE#\\ instead of #ANY will work.
