Expandable TOC using list instead of tag

[Mohammad]

Is there any way to have a toc macro to make an expandable table of content using list field instead of tag filed?

How are you imagining that working? How would a list field act like tags?

Mark,

 I use the following code to add tiddlers to the list field of a root tiddler.

<<list-links-draggable tiddler:$(currentTiddler)$ type:"ol" class:"mycls" itemTemplate:"tmplDraggable">>

Then I would like to have an expandable toc at the sidebar to have the root as a toc item and then all tiddler in the list as its children!

The problem with current approach is, I have root items with long titles and it annoying to have such long title as tag for the child tiddler (the second level items in TOC)

What do you think?

If it's just the long title used as a tag that's a problem, why not use the caption field (or any other short designator field).

e.g.

\define mymacro2(caption) <<toc $caption$>>

<$macrocall $name="mymacro2" caption={{!!caption}}/>

This teaches me I can use many ways to produce a TOC.

Thanks Mark.

Mario,

In support of tocp and heirachies, I also cloned the newhere button and added the parent field with the value of the tiddler not only the tag.

There is no need to create a new-here button. The plugin contains a "new-child-here" button. You just need to activate it!

Open the the tiddler info-area: tools-tab  ... There are 2 elements with the same function, but a different icon.

Thank you Mario!
