The Main Pages Document

The Main Pages are intended to be used only with layouts of type Main. This is the only way to ensure that Main Pages are correctly processed in both Booklet and Leaflet layouts.

Anatomy of Main Pages

The Main Pages document, unlike the Front Page and Back Page, is not made of a fixed number of content blocks. It is designed to be flexible, allowing the user to add, delete, and reorganize content as needed to meet the documentation goals for the product.

There are, however, several characteristics you will notice when working with the Main Pages document:

• It begins with the Table of Contents content block by default.

• It is structured using multiple Header 1 sections, which may contain content directly or organize additional information through Header 2 or Header 3 subsections.

• It includes graphical and textual placeholders that must be filled in to customize the document for product-specific requirements.
• It contains preconfigured LLM prompts positioned strategically to improve the accuracy and efficiency of content completion.

Customizing Table of Contents

You can customize the Table of Contents (TOC) in several ways:

Change the TOC title

1. Convert the content block to Local.

2. Edit the title directly in the block.

Change the names of TOC entries

• Update the corresponding section headers in the document.

• The TOC updates automatically based on these header changes.

Change TOC depth (number of levels displayed)

This is controlled by the Script Label. To modify it:

1. Select the Table of Contents content block.
2. Open Content Attributes and go to the Styles section.
3. Change the value of the Script Label according to the depth you want to display:
   • GENERATE_TOC_LEVEL_1 – Show only sections using Header 1.
   • GENERATE_TOC_LEVEL_2 – Show sections using Header 1 and Header 2.
   • GENERATE_TOC_LEVEL_3 – Show sections using Header 1, Header 2, and Header 3.

Remove the Table of Contents entirely

If the document does not require a Table of Contents, you can simply delete the content block. The layout will adjust accordingly.

Restrictions

The following elements of the TOC cannot be customized:

• Displaying Header 4 or Header 5 sections

• Changing the TOC location

• Allowing main text to begin immediately after the TOC (main content always starts on the next page)

Automated Unordered List Formatting for Signal Words

Pergamon automatically applies unordered list formatting to Signal Word content during export when specific structural conditions are met. This helps ensure safety messages are presented in a clear, standardized format across all supported layouts.

Signal Words include:

• Danger

• Warning

• Caution

• Notice

When unordered list formatting is applied

Formatting occurs when:

• The header uses the correct Signal Word style

• Both signal word header and body are defined within a single content block with using a combination of Paragraph Style and Next Paragraph Style.

• The following paragraphs use the matching Signal Word body style set by Next Paragraph Style

• There are multiple consecutive body paragraphs

Example (will become a list at export):

Danger Header    Danger
Danger Body      Signal message paragraph 1.
Danger Body      Signal message paragraph 2.

When unordered list formatting is not applied

Single body paragraph

Danger Header    Danger
Danger Body      Signal message paragraph.

Mismatched body styles

Danger Header    Danger
Warning Body     Signal message paragraph 1.
Warning Body     Signal message paragraph 2.
