Is there an easy way to create a table of contents for a hub?
I like the tables of contents on some of your hubs -- can you tell me how to do it?
Hi Kris, you have to get the capsules' address from the HTML source of the hub you have created.
I have the table of contents for my Flight Simulator hub. Give your capsules a title. Then after you have finished writing your hub, come out of the hub tool (don't publish yet). Now right click anywhere on the page and click on "View source". Now find the name of the capsule by typing CTRL + F. You should see these codes before the name of that module:
You only need that mod_XXX part. Create a text capsule for table of contents and add the anchor texts of the capsules. Now the link to that capsule should be krisl.hubpages.com/hub/yourhubaddress#mod_12345678
You need to add #mod_XXXXXXXX and that's it!
This is good, with two notes. Just recently, HubPages changed the HTML, so the "mod_" codes is now a "txtd_" code. Also, if you do publish your hub first, then add the Table of Contents and republish, you can test the links.
Hi Kris! Thanks for asking. My inner geek got excited about this question, and decided to write up instructions that would make it easy for anyone - even for someone with a beautiful poetic mind, like yours. And thanks to Darkside for teaching us all how to do it four years ago, and to srk4you for a quick summary of the technique.

I give! I've searched the first 3 or 4 pages of "Getting Help" Forum and I've read the entire Link's Capsule section in the Learning Center (http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/using-hubtool). That Hub, by the way, has a large number of Quick Links in it. How do you create a list of topics...

It would be really cool to add a table of contents to hubs and click through sections. So extremely long hubs would allow someone to click the link in the TOC and take them to that section.Actually, I have seen someone create a link to a section of a hub before, but it takes a bit of knowledge...

I have come across a few hubs where there is a table of contents within a hub and when I click on any of the things within the table of contents I am taken to that specific section within that hub. I had no idea that option was even available when creating a new hub. At the very least I've not come...

I have read that site maps are great for web site to help with search engine crawlers. Can we list a site map on our hubs at HP through the link capsule since are hubs are not more than one page? Can we do this and place a link to the header within that page?Or would it just be better to take a...

In the spirit of community sharing and caring I give to you a step by step tutorial on how to make a Table Of Contents for your hubs.If you're familiar with HTML it's easy enough. Just a bit fiddly. The only way to make it easier is if HubPages HQ make a capsule to do it automagically.
