Alot of the docs pages have manually written table of contents linking to headings with the page. I figured this is a good candidate for being auto-generated.
The basic idea is that given a document with a series of headings
<h2><a name="xxx">Foo</a></h2> .. <h3><a name="xxx">Bar</a></h3> .. <h3><a name="xxx">Wizz</a></h3> .. <h2><a name="xxx">Oooh</a></h2> .. <h3><a name="xxx">Ahhh</a></h3>
Then, generate a table of contents with a nested set of lists <ul>. THe XSL below attempts todo this for heading levels h2 -> h6, and splices the TOC into the page where it sees an <ul id='toc'></ul> element (typically just after <h1>).
I'm kind of out of practice with XSL, so there's probably a nicer way to write the 'toc' template below...
Yeah, it look weird but since: 1/ the HTML is flat you can't base counting more on structure 2/ h2/h3/h4/h5/h6 are not a real subsetting pattern you can't use recursion one suggestion, instead of <a href="#{a/@name}"><xsl:value-of select="a/text()"/></a> at each level, use something like <a href="#{a/@name}"><xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="string(a)"/></xsl:text></a> to still capture text if the header is not just made of a single text node.
