The Table of Contents
Linking Sub-Items
Sub-items can be created within a TOC by linking to elements within a linked page. This allows a single page to have multiple TOC links which is useful in longer topics.
The following elements within a page can be linked to the TOC :
-
Bookmarks
-
Headings
-
Paragraphs
-
Ordered List Items (bullets and numbering)
-
Unordered List Items
-
Definition List Items
-
Table of Content
-
Dropdowns
-
Expanding Text
-
Micro Content
-
Styles
Bookmarks
An element within a topic can be bookmarked specifically, or any style with the h-prefix can be identified as a bookmark. Styles in this documentation include h1, h2, h3, h4 and h5. Text with <h> styles are useful tags to bookmark an item in the TOC.
To link a 'style' bookmark in the TOC, do the following :
-
Make sure the topic page is already linked in the TOC.
- Click onto the TOC item, then select the Create a New Item (icon) from the TOC toolbar. This will automatically create an indented sub-item.
- Right-click onto the newly created item and select Properties.
- Navigate to General > Label and input a suitable name for the sub-item
- Navigate to the File Name field and select the file name of the topic.
- Navigate to the Link field and click onto the Select Bookmark (icon).
- From the Select Bookmark page, use the Headings dropdown and select a sub-item from the list. Sub-items are typically an item listed as h2 or h3. Click OK.
