A very important part of each page is the page heading. In Help Systems topic titles appear as headings of each page. To customize your documentation you may add topic title images and flags to topic titles.

To customize PDF chapter headings

In PDF documents you can control how chapter headings appear.
You can use text and the following variables to build chapter headings on the Files & FormatOutput OptionsTopic Titles page:
- %G% = title image
- %C% = chapter number
- %T% = topic title text
- %F% = flags
You can use separators between and after chapter numbers.
You can apply several numbering styles to up to 12 chapter levels on the Files & FormatPage LayoutNumbering & Breaks page.
You can begin numbering with each top level topic.
You can format headings and numbers in headings individually for each level.

To format topic titles in Help systems

In Help systems all topic titles of topic pages are consistently formatted. Topic titles of Section Pages can be individually formatted.
On the Views Bar, click Settings.
Click the corresponding Configuration tab.
