If the toc is a format hook, it +shows up in the sidebar, but not at page preview time (because format hooks +are not called during preview). Also, calling the toc as a format hook +makes any headers that are hardcoded into the page template show up in the +toc, which is rarely desirable. + +I can't think of a way between these that works in all cases. Maybe call +the format hooks when generating a page preview? Maybe add an option to toc +to make it embeddable in the sidebar? + +--[[Joey]] |
