How to add topic's Contents links inside a topic

Post by pbracale »

I am trying to add a topic's content links inside the topic topic like the image below.

Does anyone know if there is a proxy that I can use for that or how can I do that?

Can't quite make out what you're after, but is a miniTOC proxy suitable for you?

The short answer is probably no.
A mini TOC (or a menu proxy) in any of the help outputs will only show what's in your TOC structure. So if you want it to show headings in topics, then you'll need to add links/bookmarks to those headings in your TOC (which you might not want). However, that will also show any child topics from the TOC too (which you probably don't want either).

If you don't mind using some javascript, it'll be possible to create a linked list of in-topic headings using a script. I did a quick search on Google and found several javascript examples to do exactly this.

Hi Dave, would the script be required in each topic? Weighing the benefits of this approach versus manually inserted xrefs. Thanks!

The script would have to be included in any topic that you wanted the list - adding a link to the script from a master page would be a sensible approach.

The benefits would be a huge saving in time.
