 Humm#6716 | Or rather, is there something after the ToC on its last page? | 12:32:14 |
| Humm#6716 | There should not be. | 12:32:26 |
 Randoragon | i want to say no, but let me check | 12:32:50 |
| Humm#6716 | And if there is, there probably shouldn’t be a ToC anyways. You probably don’t need one at all. | 12:33:08 |
| Humm#6716 | a ToC is good for a book | 12:33:33 |
| Randoragon | i know, i don't plan on dumping ToCs in every little note i make | 12:33:49 |
| Humm#6716 | good | 12:33:57 |
| Randoragon | but i do occasionally write longer documents that have many headings and sections | 12:34:20 |
| Randoragon | and no, by default .TOC will only break a page for the start of the ToC, but I'll probably keep it that way because it's more flexible. And it's easy to drop .bp manually if you want | 12:35:36 |
| Humm#6716 | yes | 12:36:53 |
| Humm#6716 | though, y’know, it’s a little bit more involved | 12:37:19 |
| Randoragon | it's possible one might want to include some additional paragraph right below the ToC or put some disclaimer, anything. And It's way easier to break a page then to go back a page lol | 12:38:37 |
| Humm#6716 | up to and including the ToC, the folios should be small roman numerals; after the ToC, the folios should be arabic numerals | 12:39:03 |
| Humm#6716 | all in all it’s easier to split it into multiple documents | 12:39:56 |
| Humm#6716 | multiple “translation units” I guess | 12:40:37 |
| Humm#6716 | also, the folios after the ToC start at 1 | 12:41:42 |
| Randoragon | is that a purely aesthetic thing, or is there a practical reason? | 12:43:10 |
| Humm#6716 | convention and makes stuff easier | 12:43:35 |
| Humm#6716 | content begins at page 1 | 12:43:46 |
| Randoragon | cause most books i find don't use that sort of convention, but then again most people use windows | 12:43:56 |
| Randoragon | i guess that makes sense | 12:44:23 |
| Humm#6716 | there are different conventions | 12:45:08 |
| Humm#6716 | you will find many books doing different things | 12:45:19 |
| Humm#6716 | but for all I know, the traditional way of doing things is how I described it | 12:46:07 |
