Question

Hi, we are trying realize an online book project, where several authors can contribute to an OpenBook which (for now) will only be available in our designated TWiki installation. A print version or other formats are (for now) not intended.

Are there any projects or examples which are trying to achieve similar things?

At the moment, our problem is to automatically create a table of contents of several wiki pages which resemble the chapters of the book (each chapter on a separate wiki page).

Is there some way I can query those pages for creating the TOC of the book?

Thank you for your time, Matthias Korn

Yes this is possible. You need to use the VarTOC keyword, like this :

%TOC{"aTopic"}%
%TOC{"bTopic"}%
You can also retrieve the topic list from a search, and for each topic in the the list, print the TOC ( see VarSEARCH and FormattedSearch).
