: How to include section numbers in InDesign Table of Contents I am trying to create a Table of Contents for a book in InDesign. Each page of the book has a section marker and page number

I am trying to create a Table of Contents for a book in InDesign. Each page of the book has a section marker and page number (e.g. 1-3). I set it up that way so that the section marker and page number would appear in the TOC, based on what I read on Adobe InDesign Help:


If you want number prefixes (such as 1-1, 1-3, and so on) to appear in your table of contents, use section numbering rather than chapter numbering. Section number prefixes can be included in a table of contents.


However, the section markers are not appearing in the Table of Contents. There doesn't seem to be any way to indicate that they are supposed to be shown, and I can't find any more documentation about how to include them. Can anyone help?

Answering my own question because I have finally (finally!!!) figured it out. You are supposed to use section prefixes, not section markers. To mark page 2-1, for instance, put 2- in the prefix box and make sure "Include Prefix When Numbering Pages" is checked.
