Probably the easiest way, is through a template. I'm taking a look at it

We've been playing with templates a bit and it's fairly straightforward
to implement a template that displays the "book" TOC plus next and
previous links on wiki pages. I'll see if I can implement something on
the wiki later this week.


There is some initial stuff already put together here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Template:NavigationTemplate
I need to make a few minor layout changes to this example template and add in a couple new/extra features we've needed. The concept is unchanged though.

I've discovered a couple minor "gotchas" with this TOC template. These show up because Internet Explorer does a very poor job of implementing CSS standards. Most can be resolved by coding around the missing CSS implementations (aka adding IE hacks) in the main CSS stylesheet that the Wiki uses.. but it looks like we will need to do at least one small tweak in the TOC template itself.

IE does not implement max-width (something we are using a fair bit in the TOC template idea). The result is that while the TOC looks nice in FireFox, Mozilla, Opera etc, in IE it expands to the width of the longest TOC title.

To get IE to respect the max-width parameters (we are setting a max-width: 200px), we need to add in something along the lines of:

width:expression(this.width > 200 ? "200px" : this.width)

where we declare max-width. Or... does anyone know of a better solution to make IE implement a something that emulates max-width?
