Table of contents

Table of contents

The <toc> element inserts a table of contents (TOC) into your document.

<toc> has one attribute:

Attribute	Value	Description
type	string	Specifies the Adobe InDesign TOC style used to determine the appearance of the generated table of contents text. Note If no TOC style is specified, InDesign's [Default] TOC style is used. If the specified TOC style in InDesign is empty, an empty TOC is generated.

<toc> can appear in three positions within CXML.

Directly under a Typefi Section (<section>):

<section type="toc">
  <toc type="movies" />
  <toc type="characters" />
</section>

Inline, as a sibling to paragraph (<p>) elements in a story:

<p>Mandy</p>
<toc type="inline" />
<p>Brian</p>

Directly under a Typefi Element (<context>):

<context>
  <toc type="figures" />
</context>

Note

The scope of a TOC generated by a <toc> depends on its parent <section>. If a <toc> is within a TOC Typefi Section (as defined in Typefi Designer), then the <toc> generates a TOC for the entire document. If a <toc> is within a Main Story Section (as defined in Typefi Designer), then the <toc> generates a TOC for that specific Typefi Section.
