Using the <toc /> tag in a template
iani
Studying the manual at http://webby.rubyforge.org/user-manual/
I read:
" The table of contents is inserted into the page at the location of
the <toc /> tag. "
I tried inserting the text <toc /> in the example file at the top as
follows:
---
title: Orgmode Parser
created_at: 2009-12-21
status: Under development
filter:
- erb
- org
- outline
tags:
- orgmode
- ruby
---
<%= @page.title %>
Status: <%= @page.status %>
<toc />
* Description
[... etc]
But it did not create a TOC. Should I place the tag in a template? I
also tried inside the body of default.html right after body:
<body>
<toc />
This did not work either. Is there an example of using <toc /> with
the outline filter?
Thanks

https://github.com/TwP/webby/blob/master/examples/webby/content/user-manual/index.txt
That page uses the outline filter and the <toc /> tag.

Thanks, but in the meanwhile I experimented with examples provided in
the webby release directory, and I found
out that the cause is the use of the org filter.
I am using org as a filter and not textile, because I want to
translate a file written in emacs org mode
(http://orgmode.org/)
After some tests, it seems to me that the only way to do that is to
use ERB to embed the original
call to outline/toc. However I am not able to find how that call
should look like. I am a beginner in Ruby.
Therefore I would be helpful for any hints.

I'm not too sure that calling the outline filter manually via an ERb block would work. In your page, the ERb filter will be applied first and then the orgmode filter. The problem is that the outline filter needs a valid HTML document; it parses the heading tags (h1, h2, h3, ...) and generates a table of contents from those tags.
Is the orgmode filter generating header tags? If not, then the outline filter will not find anything from which it can generate a table of contents.
In order for the outline filter to work, the orgmode filter needs to output valid HTML that contains header tags.
I'm sorry that I cannot be much more help.
