RE: TOC entries with bold & non-bold formatting?

["Craig Ede" <craig.ede@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Framers,

The tag method decribed below DOES work (i.e. <Bold>) but for some reason if I type the <> as the normal greater than/less than symbols it doesn't work right. If I cut and past a <$paratext> element and replace the innards with Bold, it works.

These building blocks must use the extra special, super-secret FrameMaker e.s.s.s. bracket set. Are these brackets available from my keyboard?
