I have seen the frames version. As for what I had in mind, not really... I want something on the page with the top-level sections (not necessarily the entire tree) that I can then put to the side. Rather like a conventional site navigation sidebar. (I also want to customize more of the page, but that's a different issue.) > For these documents you can download the source documents, Makefile > and init-files, from the obvious directory.

I have no problem with doing this in perl instead of LaTeX - in fact that's what I assumed I would have to do, from within the top_navigation_panel subroutine. What I'm having trouble with is figuring out where I can find 1) a variable with all of the section titles, numbers, and filenames that I can parse to build my menu, and 2) some indicator of what section is currently being processed. latex2html obviously knows what section it's working on when it runs top_navigation_panel and builds the next and previous links, because it does them correctly. The %section_info hash seems to have the information I'm looking for in point 1, but I'm still trying to figure out what the structure of that information is. -Rhonda -- www.write-on.indy || www.write-on.org \/ http://history.ubcengineers.ca/ Discuss the art and craft of writing /\ UBC Engineers History Project That's the problem with world domination.
