832.0. "Problem with <ENDTITLE_PAGE>(Text)" by EAYV05::WESTON (Telecomms, the key to Tomorrow) Thu Aug 20 1987 07:52

The documentation covering the <ENDTITLE_PAGE> tag does not make it clear 
that any following (text) will NOT appear at the bottom of the title page 
in all document types.  It can be overridden by a local design.

I wasted time trying to change the <ENDTITLE_PAGE> text for a one-off manual
that needed a something different to the "digital..."  (It was being done
for a different location) The documentation suggests that the text
following the <ENDTITLE_PAGE> tag will do it.  It won't. Could this be
emphasised in the documentation under the tag description? 

Indeed, it would be better if the <ENDTITLE_PAGE>(Text) was specified in 
the input it overrides any local definition of the text.  Is it possible to 
do this?


Also, how can I change the Contents page to be other than "iii" in a 
document without a copyright page?

    You are correct, that text on the <endtitle_page> tag only
    works for REPORT, REPORT.TWO_COL and MILSPEC. We will either
    fix the documentation or fix the DESIGN files.
    
    If you have a local design file, you can set the page number for
    the table of contents using
    
    \def\tocpageno{-2}
    
    to set it to roman numeral 2, ii.
    
    That is the only way to do it at present.
