TOC isn't updating
I am working on the layout for a new epub ook and formated all the headings according to the example, but the TOC is not updating. All the headings are showing in the Headings part of the Control Board and are level 1. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
Keep on Writing!

Hi André,
As things stand, when you run the “Insert | Table Of Contents…” menu command, Atlantis only picks up paragraphs that are formatted with the Heading-type styles. The paragraphs only formatted with the outline level 1 are ignored. So if you want the Tables Of Contents that you place manually in your documents to include specific paragraphs, you have to format them with one of the Heading-type styles. Simply give any of these styles the same characteristics that you gave to the outline level 1 paragraphs. This is quite easy with the middle button on the bottom toolbar of the Control Board Styles panel (“Update highlighted style to match document selection”). Simply place the insertion cursor within the document paragraph with outline level 1, select the target style in the Control Board Styles panel, then press that middle button. The selected style will automatically adapt to include the paragraph characteristics. Final step: apply the newly-updated Heading-type style to the target paragraph in the document window. The Table Of Contents generated by Atlantis will automatically include these newly formatted Heading-type-style items.
HTH.
Cheers,
Robert
