1. Introduction

System requirements: Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP.

Program creates table of contents (TOC) of HTML files from header <Hx> tags and page titles [<title> tags]. Table of contents is an important navigational facility for your web site or HTML documentation. It is also an outline of the whole publication, a kind of synopsis. The TOC greatly increases the overall value of the information.

Main features of the program are:

• Can process single or multiple files.
• Automatically uses existing named anchors inside <Hx> tags or creates new ones if none.
• Automatically links TOC items to header tags or to pages [if <title> is used].
• User sets range of <H> tags being used in TOC. E.g.: <H1> through <H3>, or <H2> through <H6>. This can be used to create TOCs of various depths from the same files. Titles can be thought about as <H0> tags.
• Completely re-entrant. If you change the file after you have generated TOC, when you again supply it to the program, the program doesn't create redundant named anchors and doesn't duplicate TOC.
• Can put numbering (like "1.20.4.") both into TOC items and <h> tags. If multiple files are processed then numbering is kept in order throughout all files.
• TOC appearance is based on a template. User can create a new template or edit existing one. Program is shipped with some predefined templates. You have total control over TOC style.
• User specifies a place where to insert TOC with <!--TOC--> tag. Without this tag program selects a place automatically.
• True cross-browser compatibility. Works for all range of browsers: from text based Lynx and a browser of a handheld device to the last versions of IE or Netscape.

The program is not free. You must buy it, if you use it beyond the trial period.
