Creating ToolBook SmartStyles

ToolBook 9 introduced a significant new concept for template-based book creation—SmartStyles. SmartStyles replaces the various styles, templates, page types and backdrops found in previous versions of ToolBook with new and more versatile functionality that is consistent across all relevant areas of the product.

This document describes how to create your own smart styles (and smart pages that use those styles), including reference material on all objects that can be defined on a smart page, all style information that can be defined for those objects, and how to extend and customize the SmartStyles system.

note This document is still a work in progress. We have made it available in an incomplete form because even as such it contains much information that is useful to ToolBook developers. Be sure to revisit this document regularly for additional information.
