The TOC Composer makes creating a table of contents quick and easy. It enables you to visually design and configure a table of contents. All you need to do is open your project, click the TOC tab in RoboHELP, add books and pages, rearrange their order to suit your needs, and then create your project output. To save time, you can even use the Auto Create TOC feature and the program will automatically build a table of contents for you by adding books and pages.
A table of contents is a summary of your project, with topics arranged by category. This grouping presents the "theme" about your project in an interesting, useful, and thoughtful way. It should provide users with all the information they need about what your system contains.
An online table of contents is intended to provide users with a hierarchical view of your topics. It is located at the left side of the HTML Help viewer, grouped with Index and Search tabs, although you can specify how and where you want it to be displayed.
The online design uses the books and pages metaphor to represent categories and topics in your table of contents. Book icons represent categories for organizing your topics. Page icons represent the individual units of information (topics).
