--------------------------------

             Summary: Make all topics visible in ToCs
                 Key: DERBY-6050
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6050
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 10.10.0.0
            Reporter: Kim Haase
            Priority: Trivial


Every topic in our documentation set appears in the table of contents for its 
manual, except for four syntax-related topics in the Reference Manual:

- column-definition, generated-column-spec, and generation-clause, all under 
the CREATE TABLE statement

- ReferencingClause, under the CREATE TRIGGER statement

All of these have the following attribute setting in the map file:

toc="no"

I'd like to remove this setting for the following reasons:

- The documentation for all other syntax clauses can be found in the ToC.

- Except for ReferencingClause, all are linked to from other topics in addition 
to their parent topic.

- I have often been puzzled that I can get to those topics by clicking links 
but not by locating them in the ToC. (I may spend more time navigating the 
Reference Manual than most people do, of course.)

Unless someone can provide a reason why these topics in particular should be 
hidden, I'll file a patch soon and commit it in a day or two. 

Although this situation has existed since 10.1, I don't plan to backport the 
fix, since it's a very minor issue.
