Are you using conditional text? If so, when you generate in Frame with a
condition showing, the TOC will have entries for that. If you then
generate in Webworks with that condition hidden, the TOC will have links
to hidden text which will cause problems. The TOC will work in Frame
(because the text is not hidden).
Good luck,
Denise

I guess I'm not entirely sure. When I view the marker, the type is
Hypertext and points like so:
openObjectId CCppUsersGuide.fm:2 1104242
There are no markers whatsoever on the heading; Frame has picked it up
by
its style (heading3). The interesting thing is that some of the other
headings have cross-ref markers like
_Toc421961047
But the numbers don't seem to have any correlation to the markers in the
TOC, so I am not sure whether they were inserted by Webworks or by a

documenter. Others have more readable cross-ref markers, but I don't
know
Frame well enough to find out what they reference or how to add the same
