PDF Output - Having TOC show 4 levels, instead of 3

[bdew]

With PDF output customization, is there a way to have the Table of Contents go 4 levels deep, instead of 3?

4 Level Example:

Code: Select all

Account Reconciliation

    * Reconciliation EOD

         - Standard Procedures

              + Step 1

              + Step 2

              + Step 3

         - Holiday Procedures

RCMENU

    * Menu Layout

         - Header Modifications

         - Footer Modifications

RCTRAN

    * Menu Layout

As it is now:

Code: Select all

Account Reconciliation

    * Reconciliation EOD

         - Standard Procedures

         - Holiday Procedures

RCMENU

    * Menu Layout

         - Header Modifications

         - Footer Modifications

RCTRAN

    * Menu Layout

Thank you,

What type of XML document is the input of the PDF transformation: DocBook, DITA, etc. ? Is it one of the Oxygen predefined document types, which you can see from menu Options -> Preferences -- Document Type Association?

Sorin - I apologize. We are using .dita and .ditamap documents.

Thanks,

Adding a parameter for the depth of the Table of Contents was discussed but it was rejected. So there is no parameter for that in the current version but you can increase the TOC depth by increasing the value of the parameter called tocMaximumLevel in the file:

Code: Select all

[Oxygen-install-dir]\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\xsl\fo\topic2fo.xsl

which is set to 4 by default:

Code: Select all

<xsl:param name="tocMaximumLevel" select="4"/>

I actually was able to find the solution myself. You should add the following script to the CSS to set the TOC dept higher than 3:

*[class ~= "map/topicref"][is-chapter] >
*[class ~= "map/topicref"]:not([is-chapter]) >
*[class ~= "map/topicref"] >
*[class ~= "map/topicref"]{
display:block;
}

I found this in this reference:

Hello,

I did a test in <oXygen/> XML Editor 24.0, build 2021121518, using args.css.param.numbering=deep, your CSS should look like this:

Code: Select all

*[class ~= "map/topicref"][is-chapter] > 
*[class ~= "map/topicref"]:not([is-chapter]) > 
*[class ~= "map/topicref"] > 
*[class ~= "map/topicref"] {
  display: block;
}

*[class ~= "map/map"][numbering ^= 'deep'] *[class ~= "map/topicref"][is-chapter]:not([is-part]) > *[class ~= "map/topicref"] > *[class ~= "map/topicref"] *[class ~= "map/topicref"] {
  counter-increment: toc-chapter-and-sections;
}

*[class ~= "map/map"][numbering ^= 'deep'] *[class ~= "map/topicref"][is-chapter]:not([is-part]) > *[class ~= "map/topicref"] > *[class ~= "map/topicref"] *[class ~= "map/topicref"] > *[class ~= "map/topicmeta"] + *[class ~= "map/topicref"] {
  counter-reset: toc-chapter-and-sections;
}

*[class ~= "map/map"][numbering ^= 'deep'] *[class ~= "map/topicref"][is-chapter]:not([is-part]) > *[class ~= "map/topicref"] > *[class ~= "map/topicref"] > *[class ~= "map/topicref"] *[class ~= "map/topicref"] > *[class ~= "map/topicmeta"]:before {
  content: counters(toc-chapter-and-sections, ".") ". ";
}

You should modify your counter declaration to use the above one instead, if you have issues identifying the applied rules, you can debug your CSS.
