I want to make a PDF of John's Gospel and show where chapters begin in the TOC

Question

I cannot figure out how to do this.  I turn on the TOC options, and check the TOC1 box and my TOC just says that John begins on page 1.
The support agent says I should put the \ztoc3\ marker in my front matter.
When I try that, I get this error:

PTXprint [3.0.7] - Error!
Failed to create: BSBIAe_Default_JHN_ptxp.pdf
! Undefined control sequence.
l.11 \ztoc3
     \
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This might be related to a USFM marker error (using an unsupported marker).
Try running 'Basic Checks' in Paratext to validate markers.
It could also be related to an unrecognized setting in ptxprint_mods.tex

PTXprint Version 3.0.7

Answer 1

In Paratext there is a \toc2 at the beginning of the book that says

          \toc2 Juan

In PTXPrint I set the Table of Contents to use toc2

In the changes.txt file I added the following two lines:

"\\toc2 Juan" > ""
"(\\c (\d+))\s+" > "\1\\toc2 Juan \2"

The first line removes the first \toc2 so that the Table of Contents doesn't start with just Juan

The second line inserts a \toc2 after each \c so that it can be used to create the resulting TOC

The output of the TOC now looks like this:

Juan 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3
Juan 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6
Juan 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7
Juan 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10
Juan 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12
Juan 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15
Juan 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19

Thanks for replying. I have a major problem trying this though. When I added those two rules in changes.txt none of the text in the book prints, just the book title. 
This is what my changes.txt looks like: (the book has "\toc2 John" in it.

PTX print developers: Phil and I have not solved this mystery. See issue  #1122.

Sewhite - try this for the second line:

"(\\c (\d+))\s+" > "\1\\toc2 Juan \2"

When I took out the \n\r markers it works now for me. Not sure why it worked the other day.

Great, now working. (after a hiccup where I thought I had made the text in changes.txt but maybe I had not? )

There is a snippet about this in snippets.md describing what to insert in your changes.txt
