301.0. "ONLINE.REFERENCE Problems" by PIPKIN::DAVIES (Happiness is a disolving FRACTAL) Wed Mar 21 1990 12:34

When trying to rebuild a book that runs through Soft.SPEC ok, for the
BOOKREADER, I get the following {extract from .log file}
{ VMS 5.3 SSB, Document V1.2B }

For every chapter, there is the warning message re <running_title>


$ set default DISK$USER:[DAVIES.SDML.ISDC.FS]

==============
The .SDML extract is as follows:-

<chapter>(Product Summary\ISDC_fs_summary)

<running_title>(<align_char>(^)
<reference>(prod_ver)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Product Summary^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<date>
<endalign_char>)

Why are the three tags above invalid. I would have reasonably expected that
all the valid tags for S.S would have also been valid for O.R.  If this is
not the case, then how do I get rid of these warnings in an easy and
consitant manner.  The book has 26 chapters, for I don't want to start 
<condition>'ing the whole bok if I can avoid it.

Also the level of inclusion for the <headn> for this design seems to be 
incorrect somewhere for the certain <headn> values.

    You are correct: ONLINE.REFERENCE does not support all the tags
    supported by other doctypes, such as SOFTWARE.SPEC. We expect that
    over time this will be rectified but our first priority is to
    support CUP documentation groups releasing their documents to
    customers on CD.
    
    To get rid of the undefined-tag messages, you can put the
    following in a symbols file:
    
    <ifdef>(running_title\\|<define>(running_title\)&)
    
    This will define <running_title> as null for online processing 
    but not affect hardcopy output.
    
    The TeX error messages about header levels 5 and 6 are because
    those header levels are not supported for online processing. They
    will be in the next release of the online tools.

    Mary,
	Thanks for the prompt response, and good/bad news.  I have tried the
workaround, and results are ok.  I look forward to a future release of all the
bookbuilding tools to correct the outstanding issues.
