ABOUT

This is an ARexx script for use with PageStream3.
It *tries* to create a table of contents for the current document.

Just start the script when the document is opened.


DISTRIBUTION

spread it! use it! _write me!_


REQUIREMENTS

- PageStream3 (of course!!!) - >= V3.3x
- a document with several chapters and subchapters.


USAGE

* insert the script in your script palette (rx Scripts/CreateTOC.rexx)
* open a document with several chapters and start the script.

  * The following styles for chapters/subchapters are created:

       "TOCChapter"
       "TOCSubChapter"

  * A new chapter "TableOfContents" is created at the beginning.
  * A new MasterPage for this chapter is created ("TOC MasterPage").
    (size: A4 portrait only! - you may change this in the script!)

  * It's _not_ perfect! But it works basically.
    you can edit the page after generating.


  NOTES:
      * If the TOC is longer than one page you must edit it manually.
      * If the styles or masterpage or chapter already exist
        they will be DELETED!!!
      * Hmmm... Seems the page numbers are not correct.
        No solution yet :-(
