10.4 Creating Tables of Contents

To create a table of contents, perform the following steps:
Step Task
1 Generate an intermediate (binary) file.

Be sure to specify an .RNO file type. (DSR then produces a file with a .BRN file type, which contains both table of contents and indexing information.)

2 Run the Table of Contents utility.

Be sure to specify a .BRN file type. You can add qualifiers to this command line to customize the table of contents. (DSR then produces a file with an .RNT file type.)

3 Process the .RNT file.

Be sure to specify an .RNT file type. (DSR then produces a file with an .MEC file type, which contains the table of contents.)

The RUNOFF/CONTENTS command produces a table of contents with the following features:

The following example shows the commands and default output associated with producing a table of contents.


$  RUNOFF/INTERMEDIATE FUN.RNO
$  RUNOFF/CONTENTS FUN.BRN
$  RUNOFF FUN.RNT
$  TYPE FUN.MEC

To tailor the DSR Table of Contents utility to meet your own needs, use the qualifiers listed in Table 10-2.

Table 10-2 DSR Qualifiers for Tailoring a Table of Contents
Qualifier Result
/BOLD Enables bolding of chapter and header titles in the table of contents.
/DEEPEST_HEADER=n Displays header levels up to and including level n.
/IDENTIFICATION Displays the current version number of the DSR Table of Contents utility.
/INDENT Indents each header level after header level 1, two spaces beyond the preceding header level.
/LOG Reports the name of each input file as it is processed and after it is processed, plus the name of the generated output file.
/OUTPUT=newfile
/NOOUTPUT
Specifies the name of the output file produced by DSR. The /NOOUTPUT qualifier causes DSR to process the input file without creating an output file.
/PAGE_NUMBERS=RUNNING Uses running page numbers instead of chapter-oriented page numbers for all table of contents entries, whether or not you specified running page numbers in the document.
/REQUIRE=filespec Allows you to change the heading on the first page of a table of contents.
/NOSECTION_NUMBERS Suppresses the display of section numbers for all header levels.
/UNDERLINE Includes underlining specified in chapter and header titles in the table of contents.

Changing Page Number Display in a Table of Contents

The following example shows how to change the display of page numbers from chapter-oriented numbers (1--1, 1--2, 1--3,...) to running numbers (1, 2, 3,...):


 
$ RUNOFF/CONTENTS/PAGE_NUMBERS=RUNNING FUN.MEC

10.5 Creating Indexes

To create an index, enter .INDEX and .ENTRY commands throughout your file. The .INDEX flag will create an index entry with an associated page number. The .ENTRY command will create an index entry without a page number and is usually used for "See" and "See also" entries. The format for an index entry is as follows:

.INDEX topic> subtopic> subtopic 


.ENTRY topic [>subtopic >subtopic] 

For example, if you want the word "Chopin" with the subtopic "Frederic" to appear in your index, enter the .INDEX command followed by the words "Chopin>Frederic":


The music was soft and romantic, and Marvin knew at once that it
.ENABLE INDEXING
.XLOWER
.INDEX Chopin>Frederic
was a waltz by Frederic Chopin that held his attention.

In this example, the .ENABLE INDEXING flag enables the operation of the other index commands (.XLOWER and .INDEX). The .XLOWER flag determines that the case of all index entries will be exactly as entered (as opposed to the .XUPPER flag, which automatically capitalizes the first character of every entry and drops everything else in the entry lowercase).

After you enter the index commands in your file, perform the following procedure:
Step Task
1 Generate an intermediate (binary) file.

Be sure to specify an .RNO file type. (DSR then produces a file with the file type .BRN.)

2 Run the Indexing utility.

Be sure to specify a .BRN file type. You can add qualifiers to this command line to customize the Indexing utility. (DSR then produces a file with the file type .RNX.)

3 Process the .RNX file.

Be sure to specify an .RNX file type. (DSR then produces a file with the file type .MEX, which contains an index.)

The RUNOFF/INDEX command produces an index with the following features:

Using DSR Default Values to Create an Index

The following example shows an index produced by DSR default values:


$ RUNOFF/INTERMEDIATE FUN.RNO
$ RUNOFF/INDEX FUN.BRN
$ RUNOFF FUN.RNX

10.6 Summary of DSR Commands

The following sections list the DSR commands you can use to perform specific operations.

10.6.1 Page Size and Running Heads

The following table lists all DSR commands used for modifying page size and running heads:
Command Description
.AUTOSUBTITLE
.NO AUTOSUBTITLE
.AST
.NAST
Enable and disable use of section (.HEADER LEVEL) titles for running-head subtitles.
.DATE
.NO DATE
.D
.ND
Control whether or not the current date appears in running heads. Requires use of the .SUBTITLE command.
.FIRST TITLE .FT Allows running-head information to appear on the first page of a document with no chapters. (See also .HEADERS ON, .LAYOUT, .TITLE, .SUBTITLE, and .AUTOSUBTITLE.)
.HEADERS ON
.NO HEADERS
.HD
.NHD
Restore and cancel the capability of having one or two lines of information, called running heads, at the top of a page. Running heads indicate the content of the page and the page number.
.HEADERS UPPER
.HEADERS LOWER
.HEADERS MIXED
.HD UPPER
.HD LOWER
.HD MIXED
Specify the case of the word "page" that precedes the page number. The commands produce, respectively, PAGE, page, and Page. In an index, these commands also affect the word "index" that is part of the page number (for example, Page Index-3). The command normally takes effect on the next page.
.LAYOUT .LO Rearranges running-head and running-foot information on pages.
.PAGE SIZE .PS Sets the page "frame" by specifying the page length (the maximum number of lines of text on a page) and the page width for the running heads.
.SUBTITLE
.NO SUBTITLE
.ST
.NST
Allow you to specify a subtitle for a running head (see .HEADERS ON).
.TITLE .T Allows you to specify a title for a running head (see .HEADERS ON). This title normally appears at the top of every page but the first, at the leftmost position on the line (character position 0), regardless of the .LEFT MARGIN setting. (See also .FIRST TITLE, .SUBTITLE, and .LAYOUT.)

10.6.2 Paging and Page-Number Control

The following table lists all DSR commands used for controlling paging and page numbers:
Command Description
.DISPLAY NUMBER .DNM Allows you to specify the form that sequential numbering (or lettering) of pages will take.
.NO NUMBER
.NUMBER PAGE
.NNM
.NMPG
Suspend and resume normal page numbering. The .NUMBER PAGE command keeps track of the numbering while the .NO NUMBER command is in effect; or, it allows you to specify the beginning of a new number sequence by specifying a number for the next page. (See also .NUMBER RUNNING, .DISPLAY NUMBER, .NO PAGING, and .HEADERS ON.)
.NUMBER RUNNING .NMR Allows you to specify the beginning of a new sequence of running page numbers. This command affects page numbers only if you have entered a .LAYOUT command with an n1 value of 3. (See .LAYOUT, .HEADERS ON, and .NO NUMBER.)
.PAGING
.NO PAGING
.PS
.NPA
Enable and disable paging, which splits a document into numbered pages and reserves space for running heads. This command has no effect on help files (files with the file type .RNH).

10.6.3 Subpaging

The following table lists all DSR commands used for subpaging:
Command Description
.DISPLAY SUBPAGE .DSP Allows you to specify the form that sequential lettering (or numbering) of subpage characters will take.
.NUMBER SUBPAGE .NMSPSG Allows you to specify the beginning of a new sequence of subpage numbers, for example, 1-16A, 1-16B, 1-16C, and so on. This command affects only the letters that the .SUBPAGE command appends to the normally numeric page number. .NUMBER SUBPAGE takes effect on the next page. (See also .SUBPAGE and .DISPLAY SUBPAGE.)
.SUBPAGE
.END SUBPAGE
.SPG
.ES
Begin and end a new page and a new format for page numbering. (See also .NUMBER SUBPAGE, .DISPLAY SUBPAGE, .HEADERS ON, .LAYOUT, and .PAGE.)

10.6.4 Margin Settings

The following table lists all DSR commands used for setting margins:
Command Description
.LEFT MARGIN .LM Sets the left margin to the specified position.
.RIGHT MARGIN .RM Sets the right margin to the specified position. This is the position to which a line of text normally extends. If .JUSTIFY is in effect, the .RIGHT MARGIN value is the position against which text is justified. If .NO JUSTIFY is in effect, the .RIGHT MARGIN value specifies the maximum number of characters on any text line.

10.6.5 Filling and Justifying Text

The following table lists all DSR commands used for filling and justifying text:
Command Description
.AUTOJUSTIFY
.NO AUTOJUSTIFY
.AJ
.NAJ
Justifies and fills text automatically within the context of an appendix, chapter, section, or note. The .NO AUTOJUSTIFY command disables automatic justification. If you disable justification and filling with the .NO JUSTIFY command, the settings for .[NO]FILL and .[NO]JUSTIFY will remain in effect.
.FILL
.NO FILL
.F
.NF
Fills each line with words until the addition of one more word would exceed the right margin. The .NO FILL command suspends both line filling and justification.
.JUSTIFY
.NO JUSTIFY
.J
.NJ
Inserts exactly enough space between words so that the last character reaches the right margin. The .NO JUSTIFY command disables justification.

10.6.6 Vertical Spacing

The following table lists all DSR commands used for controlling vertical spacing:
Command Description
.BLANK .B Inserts exactly the number of blank lines that you specify (for example, .B2, .B3).
.BREAK .BR Ends the current line immediately, without filling or justifying the text.
.KEEP
.NO KEEP
.K
.NK
Allow you to keep or not keep blank lines in the output that are present in the input file when .NO FILL is in effect. Normally multiple blank lines in the input file are discarded. (See also .LITERAL.)
.SKIP .S Inserts a multiple of the number of blank lines that has been specified by the .SPACING command.
.SPACING .SP Changes the amount of spacing between lines of text.
.PAGE .PG Starts a new page.
.TEST PAGE .TP Allows you to keep a specified amount of text entirely on a single page. If there is not enough room on the current page to accommodate that amount, DSR ends the current page and puts the entire text on the next page.
