Re: indent right margin on first line



Bill Briggs gave me an awesome solution to this problem. I've cc'd him in the hopes that he will share it again.

I used it on my TOC's and the problem has virtually gone away. A few paragraphs still need soft returns inserted, but for most of them the page number, with leader, ends up on the right margin even when the paragraph text in the TOC is split over multiple lines.

I'd try to explain it, but I don't fully understand it. I just know that it works.

It does require some work on the reference pages to insert tabs, but that only needs to be done once.

My solution is to transform all the TOC lines in two pgfs, the first a
run-in head with a right indent.
With FrameScript it is very simple.

Subject: indent right margin on first line



I work with documents that get translated into several languages.
Some
languages, like German, French, and Spanish, tend to expand a lot,
and the
lines in my TOC aren't long enough for them. They wrap to another
line,
which would be fine, except that sometimes words on the first line
will
extend out into the area where the page numbers are. To fix it, I
have been
using a soft return. The only problem with that is then I have to
remember
to go through the TOC every time I update the book.

Is there any way to fix this? I was thinking that a first-line
indent of
the right margin would work, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
Any
ideas?

 Thanks!
 Lisa B.
