What is the way to extract in a list all childs of a topic by displaying the first titel as link to the topic

Topic LibSoft:

---++ CHILDS
%INCLUDE{ "TemplateChildsTitel" }%
....

Child LibSoftCs:

---+!! LIB - SOFT - CS
....

Child LibSoftCpp:

---+!! LIB - SOFT - CPP
....

Expected result in LibSoft Topic:
LIB - SOFT CHILDS

• LIB - SOFT - CS
• LIB - SOFT - CPP

The childs my be diplayed with:

%METASEARCH{type="parent" web="%WEB%" topic="%TOPIC%" }% 

The titel my be extracted with something like:

%SEARCH{ "^"
                     scope="topic"
                     regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" reverse="on" limit="100"
                     format="   * [[$web.$topic][$pattern(^---\+[\s!]*([^\n\r]+).*)]]" }%

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

You can just make a formatted METASEARCH :

%METASEARCH{type="parent" web="%INCLUDINGWEB%" topic="%INCLUDINGTOPIC%" format="   * [[$web.$topic][$pattern(^---\+[\s!]*([^\n\r]+).*)]]"}%

Put that in a seperate topic (with %STARTINCLUDE% etc around it) and then you can just include the topic wherever you want

I was curious about your SEARCH, but it seems that if the first heading in a topic is a level 2 heading, then the search will return '+ title heading 2'. Don't know how to fix it, just wanted to let you know... (If you find out how to do that, please post it here)

Hello, Thank's for the information, but format has no effect and there is no "format" parameters listed in METASEARCH description.

You need to upgrade to 4.1.2 to get the format option working in METASEARCH
