PaginationScript.

ForinformationaboutPostPaginationScriptsingeneral,see"PostPaginationScripts"onpage850.

Thebasicsofscript-writingintheDesignerareexplainedinthefollowingtopic:"Writingyourown

scripts"onpage808.

Step 1: Opening a Print template

CreateoropenaPrinttemplate.

MakesuretouseHTMLheadingslevel1andlevel2(<h1>and<h2>)inyourPrintsections,ifyouwant

tousethescriptsamplethatisgiveninStep3.Thisscriptcollectsthetextandpagenumbersofthese

headingsandputsthemintheTOC.

ments.Inthatcaseyou'llhavetoadjustthescriptaccordingly.

GivetheelementanID,forexample:toc-content.ThiselementistheplaceholderfortheTOC.

Step 3: Inserting the Post Pagination script

InsertaPostPaginationscript(see"AddingaPostPaginationScript"onthepreviouspage).

Double-clickonthenewscripttoopenit.
