Hello, Maybe spliting it in sub-chapters ?
I did hack the toc macro to make a book macro. freezes the browser tab when using the whole wiki (<<book TableOfContents>>)... But not if I uses book macro for each first level chapter (see TiddlyWiki-Book.tid). I don't know why... It's a bit raw out of the box and needs a lot polishing but works (see example attached - note i'm behind a proxy firewall so a lot of external ressources are blocked) - nearly 900 pages!!! Had to put this on a sharing partner (available only 7 days and 100 downloads. Be fast! ;-) : https://send.firefox.com/download/285dc36d71cf93d7/#Gj_WNWkdrRULJb6HUkOe5A You may play with it by yourself : get the "book.tid" macro and the "TiddlyWiki-Book.tid" tiddlers in your own copy. cheers Sylvain @sycom Le mardi 28 mai 2019 09:24:11 UTC+2, TonyM a écrit : > > Folks, > > I have built a Linear Table Of Contents that appears in a single > tiddlywiki, such as it would create a single tiddler with the content from > the Table Of Contents.
