Add range divider - divide steps in a range.

A Range is one row (when steps are displayed as columns) or column (when steps displayed as rows) in a multi-step Page or callout. A range contains one or more steps. A list of one or more individual range(s) forms a multi-step page or callout.

This multi-step page is configured with one Range (one column containing four steps displayed as rows)

At present, it is only possible to add a divider after a Range. For example, to add a vertical divider after the range if steps are displayed as rows - or a horizontal divider if displayed as columns.

Menu item - Add Divider after Step

Here we have a vertical divider after the first step which is now in its own Range. The page now contains 2 ranges - the first range contains step 1 and the second range contains steps 2 to 4.

The divider was added after the first Range. It is currently not possible to add a divider in the range - for example, to add a horizontal divider separating steps 2 and 3. To illustrate...

Here we add another divider after step 2.

However, another vertical divider is placed after the step - i.e. the divider is placed after the second range. The multi-step page is now divided into 3 ranges (three columns)

Environment

Version of LPub3D - 2.3.7
Operating system - All

Solution

It is now possible to add a divider in a range. I will call this type of divider a Range Divider. I will call the traditional divider placed between or after a range a Step Divider.

The following shots illustrate some nominal flows on adding and editing range dividers.

Menu item - Add Divider

Select Divider Allocation - The selected allocation will determine if a new in-range or traditional end-of-range divider will be configured. Selecting the default option (in this case, the default is a vertical divider) will result in a traditional end-of range divider.

Range divider allocation - Horizontal. In this case we are selecting a in-range divider when the Horizontal allocation is selected.

Range divider

Multiple Range dividers - It is possible to add an in-range divider between every step in the range except the last step.

Range divider context menu - remove range divider
