Semantics

[crutledge]

An additional column for the Set Semantics window showing the value of the semantic assigned to a file would be very helpful. It would make it very simple to verify assignment and to come back later if necessary.

    FileName.htm      | cover
FileName_split1.htm   | Title Page
FileName_split2.htm   | Table of Contents

Tools: set semantics does not work for you?

In the file browser, it seems only the cover can be designated.

I'm not sure what you're asking. The semantics show up in the OPF. So I guess that Tools: set semantics is working but you couldn't prove it by looking at the window.

It is a bit fussy , but it did update the OPF

Click Tools:set semantics
Select TYPE from the Pull Down
Select The FILE
Optional select the anchor
Click OK

You are correct. My only observation is that one would never know a semantic has been assigned merely by looking at the semantics page.

By page, do you mean this tool?

I do agree that having some indication the there is something (already) assigned to a file would be nice to help prevent overwriting.
Maybe even some indication in the pull down (bold/asterisk) would help.

For now, I will just view the Guide section of the OPF

Something

Also, It would be nice if the OPF and the TOC.ncx were pretty printed.

The NCX shows On the TOC tab, why need a pretty version?
Note: I do code for an auto-generate TOC, so it is rare I touch the NCX directly

If you want to know that a semantic is assigned, simply select it. If it is already assigned the pre-assigned values will show up. And if you want to prettyprint the opf or ncx files, use the beautify button.

Dumb question: Select where? The only place I have found a direct mention of file to semantic is the OPF.
