Hi,
Why does subject kill bookmarks when used as first entry? See attached example.
(I am not sure whether I misunderstood the structural logic that's used for bookmarks.)
Well, they assume some structure indeed and start from a parent that has a higher order.
Normally one will have more structure (introductions or whatever) and never start with a dangling subject.
In a toc this goes unnoticed as there is no tree visualized there.
That touches an interesting question: "Who sets structure?" Easily I can think you hundreds of books where the author set "Preface", "Forword", "List of Abbreviations" and "List of Content" in a subordinate style. When the main text starts, this style is the same that is used for the second (or third) sectioning level. The same shows up in TOC: if these entries are listed in TOC, they are visually structured (by indentation and font) explicitly as the second (sometimes third) sectioning level. As far as I have understood Hans' answer, the logic for bookmarks (or structured, tagged PDF in general?) works differently: even though the "design" of these sections (ie. section *headings*!) by the author is intended to be subordinated, nevertheless these section should be structured in a parent/child way: the first section mentioned is meant to be the highest level: Would this map and represent the structure that the author was thinking of? (Thank God it is not me who invented the structure of books and thus has to bear the blame ... and thank goodness we have Hans who manages to transform even the weirdest inputs and specs!) Steffen
