Chapter Title Goes Here

 

    his template is different from the other book templates in both the way it looks and the way it is put together. It draws upon the older (pre version 5.5) Frame Technology documentation look, which some of you may recall, but updates it to make it simpler to use (gone are the chapter-level tables of contents, which were labor intensive and of questionable use to the reader). Still present are the chapter-level folios and the running headers that automatically pick up the heads.

    Also removed from the original Frame Technology design are the chapter introductions, which used a larger point size and special headings. This simplifies the design and the implementation.

    One striking fact about this template is that although it looks like it contains a side-head area, it in fact does not use the side-head mechanism. Instead, it cleverly uses paragraph indents. This makes it easy to outdent the numbers and bullets, which would have been trickier to do had the template been set up to use true side-heads.

    Also retained are the easy-to-spot outdented “task heads” (they are meant to introduce a task and so usually begin with an infinitive construction, “to do x” ). The outdented heads are actually Heading2s. The Heading1 in this template is the all-caps and colored heads. Unlike the old Frame books, we’ve added a rule to the Heading1s to make them more prominent.

Getting to know the formats

    Take a few moments to understand the paragraph and character formats

    The following table highlights some of the paragraph formats:

    Format

    Description

     

    Bullet

    Is used for a bulleted list in body. Don’t confuse this with the Numbered-single format, which also uses a bullet symbol.

    Callout

    Used in illustrations.

    AnchoredFrame

    Used to format the otherwise empty paragraph where an anchored frame is inserted.

    Heading1

    Is the all-caps heading with the dotted line below it.

    Heading2

    Is the format that introduces steps or procedures (if you’re using the Numbered format). This heading resets the numbering, so it’s important to use this carefully. Text is outdented to the left margin for maximum visibility.

    Heading3

    The least important head.

    Numbered

    Is used for numbered steps. Numbers are outdented.

    Numbered-single

    Can be used when the procedure consists of just one step. Is formatted with an outdented bullet.

    The following table highlights the character formats:

    Format

    Description

     

    Bullet

    Used in conjunction with the Numbered-single format. You won’t have to use this manually,

    StepNumber

    Used in conjunction with the Numbered format. You won’t have to use this manually.

    UserType

    Used to simulate what the user types, or sometimes what the computer or program displays.

To create a numbered step (this is Heading2)

    You must always used a Heading2 for every numbered task.

  1. Enter a Heading2 format.
  2. Type some Body text if needed.
  3. Enter a Numbered format.
  4. Keep pressing Enter to add more steps.
  5. You can format Body paragraphs such as this one without breaking up the numbering sequence.

  6. You simply format the next paragraph manually back in the Numbered format.

To create a single, unnumbered step

    You may not need this format, or you may want to use it for something else. Here, it’s useful for formatting a single step.

  1. Enter a Numbered-single format and type.

This is a heading3

    Like Heading1, this heading is automatically all caps. note that cross-references to these headings (and their entries in the table of contents) will not be all caps.

To start a new chapter

    Follow these steps to set up a new chapter.

  1. Create a new document and then choose Format >Page Layout > Master page Usage to apply the “First” master page.
  2. Apply the ChapterTitle format and type a title.
  3. Note that the ChapterTitle format includes the graphic dots below it.

  4. Press Enter to apply the ChapterNumber format automatically.
  5. Press Enter again to start typing the first paragraph of Body text.

Working with graphics

    To enter graphics, you insert a paragraph and format it as AnchoredFrame. then insert an anchored frame such as the following one, defined as “Below Current Line” with a width of 444 points.

 

    Making the width 444 points means you can put graphics or callouts in the left margin if you need to.

Working with tables

    The main table in the template is the DashedLineTable. The special effect is described in more detail in the table cells in the following example:

    Heading

    Heading

     

    The dashed line above is actually a heading row that has manually been straddled and then had the TableDashedLine format applied to it.

    This table format is defined to have two heading rows so that the dashed line will repeat on a new page along with the headings if the table should break across pages.

    Even though this format is not totally automatic, it’s a good example of how you can use special-effects rules in tables.

    This format is called DashedLineTable.

    Another useful table is called the InvisibleTable because it has no ruling and so does not look like a table. You can use it for easy formatting of lists such as glossary items, as follows:

    In Windows...

    • Do this
    • Then do that

    In UNIX...

    • Don’t do this, if you can do that.
    • etc.

    Another example of using this type of table occurs in See Variables in this template.

    A third type of table is the SidebarTable, which is discussed next.

Sidebars

    Sidebars in this template are floating frames. They float at the bottom of the page so that they can fit as best as possible. Sidebars break the flow, and a lot of them can be a nuisance and an eyesore. Also, setting them up can be tricky. Still, they can be useful for excursions that don’t quite fit in with the rest of the material.

To set up a sidebar

    Follow these steps:

  1. Insert an anchored frame defined as Floating and anchored “At Bottom of Column.”
  2. Copy the contents of the sidebar elements from the Sidebar reference page.
  3. You can also just copy and paste the example: See How to Create a floating sidebar in this template.

  1. To resize, Control-click the frame and drag the bottom handle up or down.

Cross-references

    The following table lists the available cross-reference formats:

    And use this cross-reference format

Variables in this template

    We provide three predefined variables:

    DraftVersion

    Used in the footer text. Set to a space character to make it go away.

    ProductName

    Currently set to “HyperBolic” which seemed an apt code name.

    ThisManual

    Also used in the footer.

Exporting to HTML

    Because of the tricky indentation used in this template, exporting to HTML will give undesireable results unless you delete the .css (cascading ctylesheet) file before you upload to a Web server.
