I would like support for <$levelN_title> in the page headers for print/PDF compile formats, please. It’s very common for part titles rather than chapter titles to be used in page headers; in omnibus volumes (i.e., several books in the same series, bound together) often the title of the individual volume (rather than than the title of the whole series or a particular chapter) is used.
While I can do this by hosing my project’s structure (placing a dummy chapter folder named with the part title or volume title around every chapter, then using <$sectiontitle>) I’d like a solution that leaves my project intact.
I’m afraid this is very difficult given the way headers and footers are constructed and the information available at the different stages during printing and export. Just allowing a section title is hugely complex involving lots of temporary tags and calculations. So although I’ll keep this on the future list, I’m afraid it is unlikely to be added soon.
Thank you, thank you for the <$pageGroupParentTitle> placeholder! It makes it easy to achieve what I wanted <$levelN_title> for!
[N.B. Written “California Surfer” dialect loses much of the flavour of the original. It is a dialect that does with inflection and tone much of what one does with a larger vocabulary in more standard dialects of English. For example, I know at least seven inflections of “dude” which mean everything from “hello” to “You just endangered my life with your reckless driving.” This one means “KB’s the greatest!”]
Oh! I meant to reply to this thread and point this new tag out, actually. I was hoping that would do the job. Basically by the time Scrivener gets to exporting to RTF, for instance, there has to be a set amount of information in for each section. So I can provide both the current section title and the parent section title for each section, which can then be looked up for the headers, but for an arbitrary <$levelN_title> I would have to be embedding a whole hierarchy into each section, which gets very tricky and cumbersome. So I’m glad this does the trick for what you need.
And it sounds like the English translation of “dude” would be “cheers”, then. (“Cheers!” = “Bottoms up!” “Cheers!” = “See you later!” “Cheers.” = “You bloody idiot.” Etc.)
