Conference vaxuum::online_bookbuilding

    I find your note almost totally mystifying: you keep referring to 
    "indexes" and I'm almost you're not trying to document error status
    codes in the index of the book...
    
    I extracted your fragment of code and created three <message_section>s,
    each preceded by a <head1>. Each <head1> had a TOC entry;
    <message_section> does not generate a TOC entry so only the <head1>s
    were in the TOC.
    
    When I processed the extracted file using DOCUMENT V2.0, all the
    sections were output exactly alike: nothing disappeared for the
    first section that appeared in the second and third.
    
    If you click on one of the TOC entries, the topic window shows only
    the <head1> text. You must click on Next Topic to see the error
    messages. This is a known problem with message and glossary entries.
    
    You can create TOC entries for ranges of <msg>s by specifying
    <set_online_topic>(master). See the documentation for this tag. Note
    that in your file, you will need to use <delayed> around the
    <emphasis> in your <msg> tags:
    
      <msg>(<delayed>(<emphasis>(SNA3270_S_OK,...)))8
    
    If you create a cross reference, you can only do so to the <head1>:
    <message_section> and the individual message tags do not take symbol
    args and so cannot be referred to.
    
    If none of this sheds any light on your problems, please create
    a reasonably small file that exhibits what you describe and send me
    a pointer to it.
    
    Thanks,

    Since the problem is known, the solution is not far behind, I hope. 
    :?)
    
    While we're at it, there is another problem with Glossaries:  The
    online topic window presents the first term in the glossary.  Shouldn't
    it just contain 'Glossary?'

    This issue (topic window and first entry in a glossary) sounds as
    though it might be related to a problem I've encountered with
    <hotspot_target> tags in a glossary.  The first hotspot target
    becomes, in Bookreader, the Glossary itself in the topic window,
    subsequent ones are popups.
    
    Am I doing something wrong here? I'm guessing about the code, as
    <hotspot_target> isn't documented in the user docs, and the
    Release Notes (if it _is_ documented there) aren't on Bookreader.
    
    I append a test file that shows the problem. Thanks for any help.

I went out to <hotspot>(market_gloss\market) and in my little

    There is an error in the tag definition file. It will be fixed for
    the next release of the new toolkit. If you are desperate for a
    workaround, let me know by mail and I will send you the corrected
    tag definitions.
    
    The tag *is* documented in the release notes.
    
    Thanks for finding this.
