mini-TOC for multiple chapters

[Guest]

I am writing a course book, in which I added Learning Goals in each chapter. I would like to automatically summarize these learning goals in the preface, as an extra TOC (or Index?).

As far as I know a mini-TOC is only able to generate content out of the chapter (file) it is placed in.

Is there a way for me to generate this list of goals, apart from manually add each goal as an cross reference?

Thanks!

Perhaps...

1. Generate a stand-alone TOC for each chapter.
2. Have the chapter import that as a Text Inset.

It won't be automatically updated, of course, but when you re-gen and Update References it will be kept up to date without needing to re-import.

Thanks, I did something similar to your answer:

1. Generate a List of Paragraphs (containing only the Goal paragraphs)
2. Have the chapter import that as a Text Inset (which can be updated in one click).
