Problem with TOC pages and books

[lovejoyp]

I'm using RH 8 and generate Webhelp.

I created a project and had to change some TOC pages and create TOC books instead. I deleted the pages and added books, with the same name. In RH it looks fine but when I generate the TOC displays the page instead of the book. I tried deleting my cache in IE and deleting the page again. Still no help. I rebooted, and even restarted and still got the same thing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Thank you.

Hi there

If the page is not actually inside of a Book, the WebHelp generation process will sense that.

If you want a Book, try right-clicking the page in the TOC editor and choose "Create Book from Page". This should create a book with the page inside it. Of course both will have the same name, so you may need to rename the Book. Or rename the page. Your choice.

Hmm. I changed the page to a book, but now it doesn't display at all in the TOC.

These books have no pages. Does a book have to have a page to display?

Indeed if a book has nothing inside, it will not appear in the TOC. When you think about it, it's very logical. Why would you want a book to appear if nothing was inside?
