760.0. "Default Headings" by CUPOLA::LMELEWSKI () Wed Aug 05 1987 14:48

    Using the <command_section> in the software.reference doctype, here's
    the coding:
    
    <command_section>(Something Here)
    <set_template_command>(Command)
    <command>(abcd)
    <overview>
       .
       .
       .
    <endoverview>
    <format><fcmd>(abdc)<fparms>(name)
    <COMMENT>(HERE'S THE PROBLEM AREA)
    
    <qual_list>
    <qual_list_default_heads>(Qualifiers\Qualifier Defaults)
    <qpair>(/[NO]NO\/NO)
    <endqual_list>
    <endformat>
    <endcommand_section>
    
    Now....<qual_list_default_heads> lets me create new default headings
    for all subsequent qualifier summary lists, right?
    
    Using the SOFTWARE.REFERENCE design, I get the headings:
    Command Qualifiers         Defaults
    
    I've tried several doctypes.....same results.
    
    Hope someone can help me!!

760.1Set defaults firstVAXUUM::SEGALWed Aug 05 1987 15:4327
    <qual_list_default_heads>(New Default\New Default)
    overrides *all the default* headings
    for qualifier summary lists, thus permitting a writer
    or doctype design to quickly and easily
    customize the default heading text.
    In your example, the default text gets changed after
    the <qual_list> begins, (default headings are already set up), 
    so the code affects any succeeding default headings, but not the
    current list, as you intended.
    
    To establish new default headings, then override even the
    new default headings selectively, use
    
    <comment>(setting up defaults for this section/book/design)
    <qual_list_default_heads>(NEW DEFAULT\New Default)
       .
       .
       .
    <qual_list>(New Head\New Head)
    
    or in the case of a special width qual list, use
    
    <qual_list>(SPECIAL\18) <comment>(13=default, need 18pc column 1)
    <qual_list_heads>(Head\Head) <comment>(required only with SPECIAL)
