I would love for someone to explain why topic heading styles are tied to how the TOC is laid out when outputting to PDF and choosing to use bookmarks for the TOC. The following always occur:
- If you uncheck the option to Maintain HTML Heading Levels (Outputs (SSL) > Printed Documentation Print Document Content - Printed Documentation), then the PDF TOC bookmarks mimic the Book/Page structure present in the default TOC file (.hhc); however - any topic that holds a position in the folder structure higher than level 1 (so if it's within a sub-folder of one of the main folders), then all heading styles in that topic get bumped the proportionate number of heading levels. For example, if Topic X lies in Folder 3 - a sub folder of Folder 2, which is a sub folder of Folder 1, then the heading styles in Topic X are output three levels down (Heading 1 becomes Heading 3, 2 becomes 4, and 3 becomes 5).
Conversely:
- If you check the option to Maintain HTML Heading Levels, topic heading styles remain unchanged; however - the TOC bookmarks are now listed in one LONG list, instead of representing the Book/Page structure present in the default TOC file (.hhc).
Is there some reason why bookmarks can't pull from the .hhc structure AND heading styles maintain their properties in all topics, regardless of their position in the folder structure? Or, am I missing a simple option to correct this?
