Re: [Phpwiki-talk] feature idea - TOC (de facto IncludeHeadings)

[Reini U. <ru...@x-...>]

I would do it this way:

! any page content
<?plugin AnyPlugin ?>
! more headers
<?plugin AutoToc ?>
nothing really important here at the footer

AutoToc sees the HTML tree from the previous plugin's and page content, 
and modifies it accordingly by recursively stepping through the tree.

This seems to be fun to code and the most painless solution.
(I am a former lisp programmer :)
