HTML table-of-contents generatorby John M. Dlugosz (Monsignor) |

John M. Dlugosz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Many years ago, I wrote a small Perl program that scans a hand-written HTML file and generates/updates a table of contents at the top of the file, with links to the various H\d tags. That was fairly crude, being line-oriented and required that the header tags and matching names be just so. But it did recognise the stuff it generated before and replaced it with a refreshed copy. I'd like something modern that does this. A proper HTML parser would take any HTML without relying on special formatting conventions or restrictions. The generated table of contents can have fancy dynamic-expanding/collapsing features. Someone has got to have done this already! Where can I find it? —John
