Hi,
I'm working with the built-in book in Pier to put together an outline of an online book. Great software, one of the best online book formats I've seen. My problem is, the only way I can find to make a new chapter after trying for about an hour is to copy "1 Introduction". When I do this, the copied chapters go down below the Keywords Index in the Table of Contents, thus spoiling the layout in my opinion. So now it's: 1 Introduction 1.1 Section Keyword index 2 Intro-2 2.1 Section 2 [...] How can I move the Keywords Index down the list to be the final item in Table of Contents please? I want: 1 Introduction 1.1 Section 2 Intro-2 2.1 Section 2 3 3.1 4 4.1 5 5.1 6 6.1 7 [...] Keyword index Also, is there a better way to make new chapters than to just keep copying? I couldn't find any kind of page (while doing Add from various pages) that had Chapter as a type or that would give it a number and line it up with 1 Introuction. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Magritte, Pier and Related Tools ... https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/smallwiki |
All pages of a book are called "Book Portion". Go to the parent where
you want to add a new page and select "add". Depending on the type of the parent the child becomes a "part", "chapter", "section" or "subsection". In case the new page is a child of the root you can choose if you want it to be a "part" or a "chapter" (along the lines of LaTeX). To reorder the children use the "order" command (again in the parent, if I understand your example correctly that would be the book). To change the parent use the "move" command and the type of the page will automatically adapt to the new parent.

Thanks for your time and explanation, Lukas. I've got it the way I want
it now. On 2/23/11 1:34 AM, Lukas Renggli wrote: > All pages of a book are called "Book Portion". Go to the parent where > you want to add a new page and select "add".
