Removing The Lesson Description From the Table of Contents

When exporting a manual to HTML using a default template the lesson description is included in the table of contents page. This lesson will show you how to remove the lesson description.

Reveal Manual Template Folder

Media_1290027019704

Open Preferences, click on HTML Templates (1) and navigate to the Manual tab (2). Click on the reveal folder button (3).

Duplicate Existing Template

Media_1290027107066

Duplicate the template folder you would like to modify. I am going to modify the Black BG template for this example.

Open index.html File

Media_1290027134887

Locate the index.html file in the ./TOC folder of the template folder you are modifying. This file contains the instructions for rendering the table of contents page when exporting a manual to HTML.

Edit LESSON Section

Media_1248923508811

Locate the LESSON section in the index.html file. Look for the text %LESSON_DESCRIPTION%.

Media_1248923514744

Delete %LESSON_DESCRIPTION% and save the file.

Export a Manual

Media_1290027184925

Now export a manual and select the new template you just created.

The Lesson Description No Longer Appears

Media_1290027441649

Now your table of contents no longer contains the lesson descriptions.
