| 168.1 | Frames-based TOC template??? | SHRMSG::DEVI | recycled stardust | Mon Mar 24 1997 19:09 | 7 |
| In reading over a book on using FrontPage97 it appears that you could
do this by making the page a frameset and using one of the templates
supplied for making tables of contents.
Wish I could provide you detailed instructions, but I've never done
this myself.

| I dunno, but if you find out elsewhere please post the answer here -
that'd be perfect for a weekly newsletter I do
(http://simba.alf.dec.com/desk/StarsLite/970324.html for example)

Check out the following url and let me know if this is what you are
trying to do:

It is a frameset with the toc at the top of the page.

| not what *I'm* looking for, no. Your toc points to other pages; I'm
(and I believe .0's as well) looking for a way to automate a toc of
bookmarks in the same page. See the page on simba that I mentioned a
couple of notes back; I'd like a way to automate the TOC there.

| Steven,
If you were willing to use a Macintosh (gasp! ;-) to do the job, you
could use a utility known as Grinder. (Matterform Media) It uses
plug-ins, called wheels, to do various tasks. One of which is known as
"Scroller" that can be used to create a TOC for items on the same page.
I personally have not used this particular "wheel", and I've only
dabbled with Grinder so I can't vouch for it on the whole, but it looks
like it would do the job.

There is a utility called RTFtoHTML that can automatically generate a
contents page as it generates the web page. You would need to add the
frames bit manually. Have a look at http://www.sunpack.com/RTF
Its not very friendly to use - DOS command line, but it does the biz.

| Gee, thanks #Gary - you know my desk hasn't been graced by a Macintosh
in quite a few years... not in the job requirements, ya know :-)
Maybe it's time to dig into Visual Basic or somesuch; anyone know
anything about writing 'bots for FP? Maybe we could get the source of
the TOC bot from Microsoft and modify it? Maybe we could win $10M from
Dick Clark and Ed McMahon?

| 168.8 | Quicksite? | CIM2NI::CROSBY | | Mon Mar 31 1997 14:08 | 8 |
| There's a tool out there called Quicksite that was pretty impressive a year
or so ago...It had some serious limitations, but one of the really neat things
it did was to create a TOC whenever you saved or published a web. It will,
I assume, force it's page naming convention on you, but if the TOC is really
important, it may be worth it.

Doesn't stop me from having one on my desk. ;-) It's saved my butt
more than once.
>Maybe it's time to dig into Visual Basic or somesuch; anyone know
>anything about writing 'bots for FP? Maybe we could get the source of
Visual Basic, indeed. Be a real Webmaster and use Perl and/or Java. :-)

| 168.10 | Robohelp 4 | CIM2NI::CROSBY | | Thu Apr 10 1997 14:05 | 20 |
| This is really a tangent, but is worth noting.
I just finished a small on-line help project for a VB application using the
RoboHelp 4.0 help authoring system. This was Windows help, with TOC, graphics
hyperlinks, navigation, etc.
After compiling the help file and project with no errors (YESSS!!), a dialogue
box popped up that asked me to run the help file, but also an "HTML" button
there. So, religiously adhereing (sp?) the premise of "when in doubt, push
buttons", I pushed it.
Voila!. Approximately 2 minutes later I had a fully operational web site,
including 179 html files, all bmp's converted to GIFs, an alphabetized index,
forward, back, search buttons, AND a fully linked table of contents.
Somehow, this is really useful.
Cheers,
gc

| If you are into Perl, there is another solution: htmltoc.
htmltoc is a Perl program to generate a Table of Contents (ToC) for
HTML documents. htmltoc can create a ToC for a single HTML file or
multiple HTML files. htmltoc also has the ability to inline a ToC for
an HTML file. You can get more info and download htmltoc at
http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/htmltoc.doc.html
