Page Titles

Page titles need no introduction - they set the tone for a page of your deliverable. With the EightShapes Unify system, there are two key concepts around defining page titles.

Page Title

Instantiating the Page Title

The page title text object is actually included on the master page, such that when you create a new page of your deliverable, you can’t select it by simply clicking it. Instead, you “override” it.

To override the page title on a deliverable page, press Ctrl+Shift (Windows) or Command+Shift (Mac OS) and click the item. At that point, the page title can be selected like any other item on the page, and you can redefine the text to reflect whatever title you want.

Page Title Styles

The deliverable template includes a range of different styles that you can apply to page titles to create greater structure in your deliverable when necessary.
Most critically, the page title styles are used to generate AND format the automated table of contents. But additionally, they can be used to add more structure via autonumbering as well.

Page title styles can be accessed in the “titles” folder of the Paragraph Styles panel. They include:

• page title (TOC level 1). This is the default page title.
• page title (TOC level 2), page title (TOC level 3). These styles duplicate the format of page title (TOC level 1), but result in indented titles in a then hierarchical table of contents.
• page title (No TOC). This style also duplicates the style of page title (TOC level 1), but is not included in the table of contents.
• webpage title. Results in an autonumbered title: 1. [page title], 2. [page title], and so on. This is most commonly used to enumerate numerous page designs within a document.
• webpage variation title. Includes two level numbering, where the first level reflects the list of webpages, and then the variation adds an additional number second level number: 1.v1. [page title], 1.v2. [page title], etc. Use this in conjunction with the webpage title style.
• component title. Results in an autonumbered title preceded by a “c” to communicate that it’s a component: c1. [component title], c2. [component title], etc. Use this style to enumerate components that you are documenting.

Tip: To control how autonumbering works across multiple instances of enumerated text, refer to options in Type > Bulleted & Numbered Lists included restarting and stopping numbers, creating new list types, and more.
