Chapter TOC plug-in?

[Russ Wyllie <russ.wyllie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a commercially-available FrameMaker plug-in that helps with the
creation of chapter tables of contents? A company I used to work for had
such a plug-in, but the start-up I'm at now doesn't have the resources
in-house to write one.

The "by hand" process of creating chapter TOCs involves:

* Creating individual book files that generate the chapter TOCs for each
chapter.

* Creating one big book file that contains all the chapters and generated
TOCs for generating the book TOC and printing the entire book.

The "by hand" method is a major pain for books with lots of chapters. I
don't mind the one-time setup of all the book files, but re-generating all
those chapter TOCs every time the book changes is pretty mind numbing.

It sure would be nice to feed a list of chapter book files along with the
big book file name to a plug-in, and have it do all the TOC generations and
book updating. Does this plug-in exist somewhere?

Thanks for your help.
