When using multi-variant publishing to combine multiple PDFs into a single publication, it's possible to add a special table of contents, the MVP TOC. The MVP TOC has an entry for each publication inside the merged pdf. To give the MVP TOC formatting and styling that matches the rest of the PDF, library administrators will need to add specific rules to the CSS files that format their organization's PDF ProCSS outputs.
-
Open the folder for the appropriate book template, or create it.
