I've also tried using Articles, which also doesn't work - its fine to EPUb but I specifically need HTML.

(if Im not phrasing this properly, please let me know, and if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move it.).

Thanks.

Can you post som snippets of what's missing here? Was the TOC generated by ID or did you create it manually?

Is the TOC included in the articles panel?

Yes, Bob - the ToC was created by InDesign. The ToC in included in the Articles panel. The ToC appears in an EPUB conversion AND in the PDF conversion - links and all.

If you let me know what you need, I'm happy to post it.

Thanks so much for your help.

Let's try this:

Select the table of contents with the text tool. Then do the export with on the selection as the export.

What do you get?

Hi - selected the Table of Contents, chose File...Export as Page Layout (with selection chosen). The HTML is blank, nada. The EPUB now skips it, The PDF exports but without the links (I think I can fix that one!) So OBVIOUSLY I am doing something wrong. I have used InDesign before but never these features, so it's likely a user error, and I'm happy to be slapped.

I did a couple of tests myself and you’re right…the TOC is ignored in HTML output.

It actually makes sense. A TOC would be pretty much worthless on a website.

Well no.

I've an HTML technical document that needs to have a intial ToC of commands so that users can view the initial page and then click the link that takes them to the explanation of the command. It makes perfect sense! PDF docs are too large to expect folks to download, (some over 28 MB on our site) so to have a stripped down version of the doc with hyperlinks helps incredibly.

Any ideas on a workaround?

thanks
