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.
Take a few moments to understand the paragraph and character formats
The following table highlights some of the paragraph formats:
The following table highlights the character formats:
You must always used a Heading2 for every numbered task.
You can format Body paragraphs such as this one without breaking up the numbering sequence.
Follow these steps to set up a new chapter.
Note that the ChapterTitle format includes the graphic dots below it.
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.
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:
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:
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 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.
You can also just copy and paste the example: See How to Create a floating sidebar in this template.
