Automatic Table of Contents

One benefit of using structures is that Tiki can automatically include a table of contents for the structure (for example, an entire book including all chapters) or a single sub-structure (for example, only the sections within a specific chapter). This beginner's guide uses the structure's table of contents on several different pages.

Use the {toc} plugin on any wiki page in a structure to automatically include the content listing for that page and all pages "deeper" in the structure. If you use it on the home page of a structure, you get the whole book (or structure). If you use it further down, just that section and its subsections below are shown.

• The main contents page includes the table of contents for the entire book.
• Each major section (such as Getting Started) includes a table of contents only for that specific section.

There are parameters that you can use with the {toc} plugin to customize how Tiki generates the table of contents. Some of the most common are:

• shownum=y: Tiki will automatically number each heading (sometimes called "legal" or "military" style headings).
• maxdepth=#: Use a number (#) to indicate the maximum "depth" (that is, how many subheading ) to include in the table of contents. The default is 0 which will show all subheadings.

An example of the {toc} with these parameters would be:

{toc maxdepth=2 shownum=y}

As you add or change pages in the structure, Tiki will automatically update the table of contents for you! Everything will always be up-to-date.
