Question

On This Page links or TOC

I would like to create a On This Page TOC or Links on each topic in which Heading 2 or Heading 3 sub-sections are listed in the top right corner of the topic allowing the user to "jump" to these sub-sections and not have to scroll down and read the whole topic in order to find them.

OK so answers above apply.

To clarify, in Frameless you don't have to do anything for the mini-toc. It is automatic. In the skin you configure the heading levels you want to appear.

You can see it in Frameless on my site. http://www.grainge.org

 

It's on any page with sub headings such as http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh_tour/rh2019/miscellaneous/rh2019_misc.htm

You didn't say whether your output is frameless or responsive. In frameless the mini-toc is not within the topic, it is to the right and you can't change that. What I have covered is for responsive.

You can't fix the align right part in the UI but you can in Source view. Locate the minitoc in source view and add align="right" as shown below.

See Mini TOC in this topic. http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh_tour/rh2019/miscellaneous/rh2019_misc.htm

 

You should be able to format it to appear top right rather than the default top left.

Thanks, Peter for your quick response.

A few questions:

  1. What if I haven't formatted Master Pages for my project? I gather without this added to Master Pages, I would have to do this manually for each topic, right?
  2. If I configure this in the Master Pages, I would only configure the Topic page, right?
  3. If I want the Mini-TOC to the top right corner, I would have to format the page for columns, right? Is this also something to be done in the Master Page for the project OR in each individual topic?

I haven't tried to apply it across a project but my thinking is

  1. It's a master page or each topic where you want it.
  2. I think you should only need to edit it in the master page.
  3. It's nothing to do with columns.

 

Let us know how you get on.
