Sure, Wetpaint doesn't have a feature for that, but you could manually create a table of contents by using the existing features on the EasyEdit toolbar. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Links would have to point to a seperate page. Wetpaint does not support anchor linking at this time. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

The best thing to do is just have a link to the page from the table of contents.
maybe wetpaint will make a feature to add a table of contents soon...
untill then you will have to link the pages.

hope that was helpful

This is in my mind one of the very few drawbacks for wetpaint - the widgit on pbwiki is really useful - any chance of seeing something ? Do you find this valuable?

I've built an inital Wiki on WetPaint, but was sorely nising anchor linking and Table of Contents. Tried using Google's new Wiki (Sites,ex JotSpot I think). One thing they had that WetPaint did'nt was Auto Table of Contents with Links, with 4 levels of header. Would really like to see that here on WetPaint. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I think the new refresh on wetpaint is very welcome - still lacks this feature though, I think in terms of navigation within pages it is an extremely important addition that we could do with 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I would also love the ability to add anchor links, it is a very commonly suggested feature, it will become very handy for long reviews on my gaming wiki. Do you find this valuable?

Yes. Type in your site URL instead of yoursite here: http://yoursitehere.wetpaint.com/sitemap/

Also look down at the bottom of your wiki.There are a few pre-prepared pages that you cannot edit.

Can you not ask people to use Ctrl + F in the mean time and have different words they can use that take them to a point?

You can do but that doesnt help really when you have a large number of users who want an ease of use solution

I think Digital is confusing an over view of the site with breaking dowen pages into bite sized chunks - PBwiki do this really well - Id still opt for Wetpaint but this gives you a good idea of what I would be looking for Do you find this valuable?

I just wanted to say that I like the idea of having a table of contents feature/anchor linking. It would definitely make pages look more user friendly and appear more organized. *thumbs up* :-) Hope it see this feature added.

Keep up the good work, Jeremy and crew!

Did you not want a contents with everything on your site? This is the next best thing wetpaint can offer. This is the only thing that can auto-create a table of contents at the moment. You can also manually create your own table but this is just easier.

The Ctrl + F thing is also the best thing available for anchor links.

Am I missing something here? Wetpaint does automatic content tables for each page on the site? I think you mean with certain templates, for then true, it creates a 'table of contents', but once you start adding your own pages it doesn't update the table of contents does it.

And btw, Ctrl + F is great, but anchor linking is more efficient.

Ctrl + F is doing me for now. But I would like this feature. The sitemap creates an automatic table of contents. Wetpaint auto-updates it everytime you add a page. Just put a link on your site eg. http://lathermiah.wetpaint.com/ then add page/sitemap/ to the end of it so you get this http://lathermiah.wetpaint.com/page/sitemap/ It does update the table of contents as you can see on the last link.
