Associating a TOC With a Target

You can select a specific table of contents (TOC) file to be used for a target.

For HTML5 targets, the selected TOC provides the main navigation for the output.

For PDF targets, the selected TOC file functions more as an outline. In other words, it controls which topics are included and the order of the topics for the output, rather than the traditional TOC that you would see at the beginning of a PDF. The actual TOC in a PDF is either generated automatically behind the scenes based on headings, or you can use Flare to create a customized TOC.

Permission Required?

Editing content and project files is an activity available to users with the Author status. By default, users with Author status have the following permissions set:

  • If this is deselected, then viewing files in a read-only mode is allowed. On the left side of the page, the Files vertical three-dot menu is not available.

  • If this is deselected, the XHTML in the Code view is read-only.

    Editing code is regarded as a capability for an advanced user. If not done properly, the code can become malformed quickly. Administrators can prevent users from editing the code by deselecting the Edit Code permission.

For more information about permissions, see Setting User Permissions or Setting Team Permissions.
