I'm a new (novice) user of Amaya. I really LIKE what I see so far! Ok. I notice that Amaya can do a 'view' called a table of contents. It appears it creates that view from a hierarchy of <h1>...<hN> tags or something like that. I also notice that a certain subset of W3C pages actually CONTAIN an embedded table-of-contents (toc) near the top of the doc, and that one can then navigate thru such a large document either serially OR by clicking selected items in the 'toc'. Very cool. So, before I go off and try writing some Java code to implement a program that could actually auto-generate and insert such a navigatible 'toc', I figured we should discuss the notion here a bit first. The embedded 'toc' that I see, for instance, in http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-amaya-970220.html looks like it was 'generated' somehow, since all the anchors contain those #Lnnn style references. It would be do-able for a program, using XML (i.e. requiring the input to be XHTML), to compute line numbers and thus automate the process of creating the toc and to produce a new XHTML file with the generated 'toc' embedded at some desired location within the document. So, my question becomes: Are there any [free] programs already out there that do something along these lines? (I don't like re-inventing wheels that already exist.)
