Damon,
Eric solution makes use of the existing TOC macos. Personally however I
would encourage people consider building there own TOC and develop and
understanding of Recursive macros. Because once you learn these building
custom TOC processes are much easier.
For example computing other information about each member in the TOC,
getting icons and color from the default fields programmatically rather
than needing to edit the caption field for every member.
I will share a single tiddler example soon, in a new thread.
Regards
Tony
