(Tip2) Creating TOC navigation levels in DITA for FrameMaker 2015 published outputs

To create TOC navigation levels from DITA to FrameMaker published output we need to edit the ditafm-output.ini file present in Windows %appdata% folder.

The folder/file can be accessed via:

Windows > Run > (paste this) > %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\13\ditafm-output.ini > {ENTER key}

In the file edit the section [BookWithFM-TOC] to add extra levels to the output TOC.

FrameMaker's DITAmap's output is currently controlled through 'ParaTags' setting present in 'BookWithFM-TOC' section of "ditafm-output.ini". It is shipped with default 2 levels with  title.0 (chapter title) and title.1(section title) that get included in the TOC. 

            [BookWithFM-TOC]

            Template=TOCTpl.fm

            ElementTags=

            ParaTags=title.0|title.1

To add more levels to the DITA published output we need to add more levels to the BookWithFM-TOC section.

Example to change it up to  4 levels:

                [BookWithFM-TOC]

                Template=TOCTpl.fm

                ElementTags=

                ParaTags=title.0|title.1|title.2|title.3|title-index
