HOW TO - Create a table of contents
Here is a Picture Version of This Process on the support blog
Edit your wiki - Use the Format options to create an outline for your page.
- Title your page using Heading 1
- Create a section heading using Heading 2
- Create paragraph headings using Heading 3
After creating a headings - click on the 'Insert Plug in' link
- Hover over 'PBwiki Magic'
- Choose 'Table of Contents'
- Place the green 'Table of contents' box where you want on your wiki page.
Using brief headings AS YOU COMPOSE the page!
- I like to freely compose a page, WITH the PBwiki Magic Table of Contents entered right from the start!
- It allows you to watch the table of contents being populated as you go, and edit at will if the links don't make the kind of logical sense you want.
- Made a heading where it didn't belong? Change the format of the text, and make it the way you want.
Use Back to Top of Page for navigating convenience!
- When you milk the table of contents for all it's worth, your pages can get l-o-o-o-n-n-g
- Here's how to get around that: Put little to nothing before your table of contents PBwiki Magic tool; this way "back to top" will take you essentially back to your table of contents!
- Here's what you need. Just get into "edit" mode, and copy this: <back to Top of Page> Then paste it into your own wiki.
- Use a composed page as model and save it inside your wiki: you can get when you need
-
By the way, you can change the displayed font size on your page of any "heading size"!
-
The cool thing about using all three heading sizes is table of contents outlining elegance and/or logic! Using ALL the heading sizes enables more nesting of stuff in your t-o-c.
Here is default size Heading 1
Here is a Heading 1, but done in x-small!
Here is default size heading 2.
Here is heading 2, but done in x-small.
And here is default size heading 3.
You got the idea...heading 3, but done in x-small.
