Generating a Table of Contents

HTML Author can automatically generate a hypertext table of contents similar to the one used near the beginning of this document. To do this, you must first create NAME Anchors for all the sections you want referenced in the table of contents. Next, move to the position at which you want the table of contents to appear, and select Build Table of Contents from the HTMLAuthor menu. HTML Author will build a table of contents from all the NAME anchor fields in the document that have a Heading style. If there are any entries that you do not want to include, you will need to delete them once the table has been generated. References to other files can then be added manually if required.

Adding Name Anchors to Headings

If you have a document with a large number of headings, HTML can automatically add NAME anchors to all the headings that do not already have them. This operation may be invoked using the Add Heading Names command from the HTML Author menu. The names will be of the form "HD_NM_3", where the number is allocated serially within each document, and the anchor will be placed on the first character of the heading text. Any heading that already contains a name anchor will not be modified.
