578.0. "template sideffects on table of contents" by COLORS::MOORE () Tue Jun 30 1987 17:20

    
    I am using BL8 of VMS Document. I have a problem with the sideffects
    of using the command section template in the software.spec doctype. 
    
    The text produced by the command section template is okay - it does 
    what I want. However, it wrecks the table of contents. The indenting, 
    font, page numbering (switches from plain numbers to a symbol +
    number) etc. are totally different.                           
    
    When the template finishes, the table of contents resumes the original
    style. Note: This is the only template I am using.
    
    I had expected that the template would ONLY effect how the text within
    the template would be displayed, not the format/style of the table 
    of contents.
    
    I want to use the template, but am not willing to accept its
    sideffects or delete it from the table of contents. Does anybody
    have a workaround?

    There have been other comments on the table of contents; we
    will look more closely at making this better.
