TOC / list of topics in chapter

[Ga Bowen]

A client has asked that in each chapter of their manual (pdf), the first thing we produce is a list of the topics in that chapter.

It does not require numbering.

Is this possible without just manually creating a link to each one?

Somehow in the PMD Top Level Intro would be ideal?

Hi Ga,

You can achieve this with Help+Manual's smart copy ability from the TOC: If you select all the topics in a TOC chapter and copy them to the clipboard, you will get a list of links to those topics if you paste into a topic. If you don't want the links, just the text, you just need to select the links in the topic editor, right-click and then select "Convert to Plain Text" in the context menu.

The copy function from the TOC is context-sensitive: If you paste the same copied topics from the clipboard to the TOC instead of to a topic you will get full copies of all the topics.

Incredible.

Cheers, Tim.
