Greetings,


I apologize if this has been asked before, but I have searched the forums and could not find an answer. I have also attempted to create a table of contents, but with no success.


I want to create a table of contents to jump down a thread.


So, is this possible on this website? If so, how might I go about accomplishing the task?


Thanks in advance and God bless.
 
Yes, it is possible. Each post has a link. On the bottom right, you will see that your post has #1, and my post has #2. You can copy the link and use the url to 'jump' to a certain post.


Here is an example: https://www.rpnation.com/threads/tightly-wound.61023/


Note: It will only jump to the top of the post. There is no way that I know of that can cause the link to jump to the middle of a post.
 
Check out our BBC codes to find nice ways to edit your table of contents!


Then click on the page number of each post and rearrange it how you would like!

Muse and Ricia,


Thank you very much for your prompt replies and help. It's comforting to know that this website has good people to count on. However, I failed to make myself clear and for that I apologize. I was referring to a table of contents for a single and specific post. I see now, thanks to your help, that it isn't possible to do so, but that is quite all right.


Thanks again and have a great night.


P.S. Ricia, I took a look at that the site's BBC codes earlier and it's a wonderful page. Very well done and helpful.
 
I do apologize... but there is no way to make a Table for a single post. Only multiple ones. I am glad we could help you though. :) I hope you have a wonderful time on our site. The staff and fellows are both extremely active. :)
 
As they said, you can't do it via bbcode.


BUT!


If you were to label each part wIth a sPecific tag like [4.21] and put that number before the parts name in the contents people could be directed to that into the ctrl+f search function and it would drop them right to it.


EXAMPLE


Use CTRL+F to navigate via the Contents.


Contents


[1.00] Stuff


[1.00] Stuff
 
One other thought for you. You can collapse sections of a post using the spoiler tag or use tabs to organize large sections of text into manageable chunks in a smaller vertical space. You can even have tabs with spoilers; spoilers within tabs; or tabs within tabs. You just can't have spoilers within spoilers.


This can effectively make the post act like a collapsed table of contents they can expand.

Atom and Erica,


You've some wonderful ideas. I hadn't thought about utilizing those functions in that way, and I might just see how it turns out.


Thank you both for your help, I'm very grateful. And have a wonderful day.
