Damien Pobel	Tuesday 10 January 2006 7:22:04 am hello, I'm working on a site where pages are build with an XML Block. I'm looking for a way to build a table of content of the page from the XML Block content. For example : My XML Block : <header level='1' anchor_name='t1'>title 1</header> Lorem ipsum dollor... <header level='1' anchor_name='t2'>title 2</header> Lorem ipsum dollor... and I'd like to automaticaly generate : <ul> <li><a href="#t1">Title 1</a></li> <li><a href="#t2">Title 2</a></li> </ul> I have already thought to write an operator (http://ez.no/products/ez_publish_cms/documentation/development/extensions/template_operator ) that returns an array from the XML Block containing the anchors but I wonder if there is a better (easier) solution ?

This operator does what you need. It replaces the header-tags with some more content and generates a link list out of the headers. It can be used to create a wiki article out of some xml text. If you are still interested this operator could be what you were searching for.

hello,

I'm working on a site where pages are build with an XML Block. I'm looking for a way to build a table of content of the page from the XML Block content.

For example :
My XML Block :

<header level='1' anchor_name='t1'>title 1</header>
Lorem ipsum dollor...
<header level='1' anchor_name='t2'>title 2</header>
Lorem ipsum dollor...

and I'd like to automaticaly generate :

<ul>
  <li><a href="#t1">Title 1</a></li>
  <li><a href="#t2">Title 2</a></li>
</ul>

I have already thought to write an operator (http://ez.no/products/ez_publish_cms/documentation/development/extensions/template_operator ) that returns an array from the XML Block containing the anchors but I wonder if there is a better (easier) solution ?
