> seems like a TOC with both a few keywords for each topic AND the markup needed would be appropriate... but a big PITA.

For a start:

Hacked some code augmenting H-tags and generating a TOC:

YMMV

HTH! :)

use strict; use warnings; use feature 'say'; use HTML::Entities; use Data::Dump qw/pp/; my $text; my %anchor_count; my @aoh_toc; my ($min,$max) = (3,6); my @stack; $stack[$min-1] = \@aoh_toc; # root while (my $line = <DATA>) { if ( $line =~ m# ^ (\s*) < \s* h([$min-$max]) \s* > (.*) </ \s* h(\ +2) \s* > \s*$ #xi ) { #say $line; my ($indent,$level,$text) = ($1,$2,$3); if ( $indent ) { # ignore indented <h*> warn "Skipping $line"; } else { my $anchor = text2anchor($text); warn "Duplicate '$anchor' " if $anchor_count{$anchor}++; $line = "<h$level><a name='$anchor'>$text</a></h$level>\n"; my $a_sub = []; push @{$stack[$level-1]}, { text => $text, link => $anchor, sub => $a_sub, level => $level, }; $stack[$level] = $a_sub; } #say $line; } $text .= $line } # pp \@aoh_toc; say "<ul>"; create_toc(\@aoh_toc); say "</ul>"; print $text; sub text2anchor { my ($text) = @_; # trim $text =~ s/^\s+//; $text =~ s/\s+$//; # make valid indentifier my $encoded = encode_entities( $text ); # replace whitespaces $encoded =~ s/\s/_/g; return $encoded; } sub create_toc { my ($aoh_toc) = @_; for my $h_line (@$aoh_toc) { my $indent = " " x ($h_line->{level}-$min); say qq~$indent<li><a href='#$h_line->{link}'>$h_line->{text}</a> +</li>~; my $a_sub = $h_line->{sub}; if ( @$a_sub ) { say "$indent<ul>"; create_toc($a_sub); say "$indent</ul>"; } } } __DATA__ ...

update:

something is wrong, for a reason I do not understand yet the anchors are filtered ...

need to check the allowed tags in the monastery... (under construction)

produced HTML see reply here Re^3: TOCs and deeplinks for our house rules

update

needed extra <a name="$target"> tags

update

Forgot to mention, I had to change the input at some places:

  • Some h3 needed to be h4 to be properly nested
  • some heading were just examples and were indented to be ignored
An included heading needs to start a line without leading whitespace and can't be followed by anything else but whitespace.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    replaced id with name, think id is not allowed in the monastery.

    update

    Approved HTML tags don't allow id or name attributes inside <h.> tags so I used additional <a name=""> tags.

    seems to work now:

    Sounds like your TOC generator has gone beyond mine. That great!

    FWIW, I didn't try dealing with header nesting because a lot of the HTML to be processed was very poorly written. If I had, the TOC would have looked haphazard.

      actually I don't know yet how to deal best with wrong nesting.

      E.g a h6 following a h4 would be ignored now (or added to the last h5 which is nonsense*)

      I don't know if it's better to

      • include the missing intermediate levels
      Or
      • ignore the heading
      A warning should be emitted anyway.

      Another nice to have would be to parse already available anchors, to allow multiple runs.

      Again the problem arises if a new anchor should be generated or the last one taken.

      I think all of this should be configurable, but so many options make this already a candidate for a proper module. ...

      *) actually this explains weird problems I saw with latex beamer and wrong nesting. .. cool insight into alien code.
