Mini TOCs

Mini TOCs allow you to display heading content directly within a topic. The content contained within the Mini TOCs will be made up of clickable hyperlinks, providing users not only a quick overview of longer topics, but easy navigation to the information. You can elect to use Mini TOCs with a Master Page, or insert Mini TOCs on the fly (possibly within only the longest topics in your project).
