Subject:RE: Ampersands in TOC and headers? From:<Brian -dot- Henderson -at- mitchell1 -dot- com> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 9 Feb 2010 09:35:03 -0800
For what it's worth, here at Mitchell we use ampersands in figure
captions and anything that is considered a title.
But...we do whatever the heck we like, without concern for anything the
rest of the world does.

My docs feature some relatively long, task oriented titles. To minimize
the length of TOC entries, I've used ampersands in the way they are used
in newspaper headlines.
Are you looking for one documentation tool that does it all? Author,
build, test, and publish your Help files with just one easy-to-use tool.
