BUG: <COMMAND_SECTION>(running_head) doesn't work. Also, the documentation states that, by default, the current chapter title is the running head; this also doesn't work. USING: doctype: layered devices: mail/ln03 template: Command Template I can't get the <COMMAND_SECTION> running heads to work correctly. The documented default doesn't work (the chapter title being used as the running head), and specifying a running head as an argument doesn't work (nothing is output as the top running head; commands or subcommands still produce the second running head). SUGGESTION: If you are going to use the chapter title as the default, you may want to consider giving us the option of specifying that we don't want any running head at all. Some doctypes have the chapter title at the bottom of the page and it would be ridiculous to repeat the title in two places on the same page. This error should be reproducible using any input. Drop me a line if you can't reproduce it. --Gerry [I tried to find out if these bugs and suggestions have been reported, but I may have missed previous notes. This file is so huge!]

I reread the documentation. It correctly states, in the <SET_TEMPLATE_COMMAND> argument description of DOUBLERUNNINGHEADS, that, if the doctype does not call for running top titles, then the default is that there will be no top running head. The documentation implies that the doctype design can ignore the <COMMAND_SECTION> running-title argument, but it never says so directly. If this is true, how come LAYERED allows me double running heads when I use the <SUBCOMMAND_SECTION> tag with the running-title argument (the second header is the individual subcommand title)? Why won't this doctype allow me a <COMMAND_SECTION> running head along with the individual <COMMAND> name as the second running head? --Gerry |
