Has anyone had any problems using the <ONLINE_CHUNK> tag?
I can't make it work. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Where are you using it? And what results do you expect?
<online_chunk> was defined as a way of breaking up very long pieces of
text that tex tends to run out of memory processing: long informal
examples and tables, long lists. You should not actually note any
differences in the output -- a long list will still look like a long
list on the screen. Internally, however, to TeX it is several smaller
(more manageable) chunks.
Does this help?

I expected that the long list would be divided into a smaller topic
that could be accessed by going to "Next Topic" on the Bookreader.
So if this tag doesn't change the output, then it does what it is
supposed to do. It looks like I was expecting it to chunk long
sections into smaller "pages" so that the user wouldn't have to scroll
through the longer sections.
Thanks. That answers my question. It looks like users will have to
just scroll down a large section.

| 187.3 | use (headx) and set_online_topic? | AITG::WARNER | Who ya gonna call? TOOLBUSTERS! | Mon Aug 28 1989 20:26 | 8 |
The alternative is to break up your long list with lower-level <headx>
tags, then <SET_ONLINE_TOPIC>(headx) for that section. After the
section, use the set_online_topic tag again to set whatever you had before.
The heads will show up in the TOC, so unless you can make some
organizational sense out of them, better forget it.
