There is some initial stuff already put together here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Template:NavigationTemplate
[snip]
Ideally what I would like is for the whole table of contents of one chapter to appear on each individual wiki page of that chapter, so that a reader can jump to any heading in the chapter easily from any wiki page in the chapter. Does this template do that?
The way I've been working with it for the test document (the API Guide is still not yet on the OOoWiki but hopefully will be soon) is:
- An introductory page for the book (how this book is organized, acknowledgments etc) with a master TOC of chapter titles only.
- When a reader clicks on a chapter title they are taken to the first page in the chapter. A new TOC template is loaded which has all the Heading 1, 2, 3 etc levels, but only for that chapter. That TOC template is loaded on each page of the chapter. From there, the reader can easily jump around in the chapter.
- When the reader moves to the next chapter (by clicking the book title which takes them back to the master TOC, or by clicking the Next Chapter or Previous Chapter links at the bottom of the current TOC) the TOC for that chapter is loaded.
It is easy to include the TOC in each page - it's simply a matter of calling the specific TOC template for that chapter, and passing it the parameters for the part of that TOC you want to be displayed/expanded.
The TOC still needs some adjustments (probably in the main.css for the Wiki) to make it work in IE (since IE doesn't implement CSS standards very well). It works very nicely in Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Konqueror etc. I haven't tested it on Safari yet, but I would expect it to work properly there too.
I'm pretty familiar with how it works now, so if there is a document we'd like to try it on (before the API Guide is moved to the Wiki), I can help out with the implementation. It takes a little getting used to, but once it's in place, it is relatively easy to use.
