Forum How do I...?

Titles display

roger64
Hi

This is my first question. I just would like to know if what I ask is possible or not: it's about titles display (h1 and h2)

I usually display a upper horizontal information line: in the middle there is the chaptertitle and on the right the page counter. This works nicely.

Now, I have a new book with the following layout:
h1: name1 with subtitles h2 (1,2,3,4,5,)
h1: name2 with subtitles h2 (6,7,8,9,10)
h1: name3 with subtitles h2 (11,12,13,14,15)

I would like to display on my PDF something like this (example):
name1 3 25/852
name3 13 752/852

Is this possible? If yes, has somebody a working example of this?

For sure.



On this screenshot you can see a h1 title (le carnet en similicuir) that I would like to display on the left upper bar.

For now, I only have the h2 titles (which for this book are just plain numbers)

You can use the string-set property to capture the text of the titles you are interested in, and then use the content property in the page margin boxes to display the captured text, as demonstrated here.

Thanks for your reply. I will try it this way.
