Template:Auxiliary Table of Contents/doc

This template creates a special boxed table of contents within a mainspace page. It is intended for adding tables of contents to works that did not originally feature such a navigation device. For example, where a work has been broken into chapters or other subsections on subpages on Wikisource where the original document simply flowed from one section to the other.

This template uses the same class as {{header}}, which separates the table of contents from the proofread text derived from the Page: and Index: space.

Usage

Basic

{{Auxiliary Table of Contents|List of subpages}}

Advanced

{{Auxiliary Table of Contents|text=List of subpages|title=|comment=|width=}}

Parameters

• title: Inserts and new word or phrase in the top left of the table. Default: Chapters.
• comment: Inserts a new comment to the right of the title. Default: (not listed in original).
• width: Width of the table; default: 30em. Avoid using widths in px, as this can cause unexpectedly narrow results on export.^[1]
• nosummary: Do not add the contained links to exported file TOCs. This can be useful:
  • If the AuxTOC is not the only TOC on the root page (e.g. an AuxTOC is used to add some sections not listed in the original TOC). By adding nosummary, the export will contain both the links in the AuxTOC and the links in the original TOC. Without it, the export may only contain the contents of the AuxTOC. If some links are repeated on the root page's TOCs, they will be repeated on the exported file's TOC.
  • If the same links are added elsewhere. For example, if the same links are presented on a subpage as well as on the main page, the entries from the subpage will be nested in the output file, so the subpage should be used and the main page table should use nosummary=y. E.g. Pierre and Jean (Bell, 1902).

Examples

Note: The choice of formatting of bullets, or numbered bullets, or without will be conducive to the work and its presentation, and readability. Typically we use unformatted bullets, though are guided by the contributor bringing the work to Wikisource within the scope of Wikisource:Style guide and the look of the book.
