Re: [xwiki-users] TOC Macro question

Interesting - I had missed the ability to pass custom parameters using wiki syntax. I will play with that and see if I can get it to output the same html I need. I am in fact using a series of nested <ul> within each <div>, that forms a collapsible javascript tree. The js is touchy about the exact formatting of the UL - if I can't get the tags to nest correctly using wiki syntax then I may be back with additional questions. A more accurate but simplified version of each object's display code is: <ul class="tree">  <li>  <h2>some content</h2>  <input />  <input />  </li>  <ul>      <li>Some velocity code, returns wiki syntax with headings</li>      <li>Some velocity code, returns wiki syntax with headings</li>      <li>Some velocity code, returns wiki syntax with headings</li>  </ul> </ul> Thanks much, aaron On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 12:52 PM, Thomas Mortagne &lt;thomas.mortagne(a)xwiki.com&gt; wrote: > On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 7:10 PM, Ashtar Communications > &lt;ashtarcommunications(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >> That makes sense, thank you for the clarification.
