Changing the contents of entries
The table of contents now has the general appearance you want, but the entries still may
not be quite right for the intended design. For example, suppose you'd like the preface and
chapter titles to appear without page numbers. Also, all the Heading1 entries now need
to contain tab characters to correspond to the tab stop you defined in the Heading1TOC
format in the previous section.
Changes such as these affect the contents of entries rather than their formats. For this
reason, you won't be using the Paragraph Designer to make the changes. Instead,
FrameMaker 7.0 provides a special place to edit the contents of TOC entries: a reference page.
1 Choose View > Reference Pages.
The reference page that first appears contains graphics that are used to highlight notes to
the reader in the chapter. You'll work on a different page.
2 Click the Next Page button in the status bar until you reach the TOC Reference page
(on page 7). The name of the reference page appears in the status bar.
The page contains a special text flow that controls the contents of the entries in the table
of contents. The first paragraph—which is just one line long and whose text is
<$paratext> <$pagenum>—is tagged PrefaceTitleTOC.
<$paratext> <$pagenum>
<$paratext> <$pagenum>
<$paratext> <$pagenum>
This paragraph contains two building blocks, <$paratext> and <$pagenum>. Building
blocks are special pieces of text that control the content of an entry. In this case,
<$paratext> and <$pagenum> indicate that the text of the preface title and its page
number should appear in the table of contents. The space between the two building
blocks tells FrameMaker 7.0 to insert a space between the text and the page number.
