- Description
In 18.x (and probably earlier) you can print the table of contents on the fly in the pdf produced by mpdf (at pdf generation time), regardless of using hardcoded maketoc calls, o hardcoded title calls with wiki argument variable
{ { page } }(no space intended between angle brackets).Preference: Control Panels > Print > mPDF > Table of contents
This feature is nice, but if would deserve another minor level of integration, for those cases in which:- the Wiki page title is hidden by default, and placed by hand in the wiki page where needed (or replaced by human-(more-)readable text), usually at the top with a heading 1 level style.
- current behavior: mpdf places the table of contents at the top, and page title is shown below the table of contents, which is counter intuitive
- A wiki page has the AutoTOC setting disabled at wiki page level, and a hardcoded call to {maketoc} is placed below the page title (or wherever, with whichever maketoc params for the users like, such as levels="2,3", my favourite, btw).
- current behavior: mpdf keeps the table of contents produced by itself, plus the table of contents that was previously generated in the rendered html page by the wiki markup). therefore, 2 table of contents are shown, which is not what most users would expect.

Potential solution to both issues: (2 birdies in one shot)
Allow replacing hardcoded call to maketoc in page with the one produced by mpdfHow? Brainstorm mode on:
- add a new param
inpdfin maketoc plugin, with several values:- replace:
{maketoc inpdf=replace}Replace that maketoc call in the wiki textarea with the output of the table of contents from mpdf - keep:
{maketoc inpdf=keep}keep same behavior as nowadays, for those edge cases in which user has custom maketoc for partial sections of the page (or whatever), which want printed also besides the full table of contents at the beginning, etc. - ignore:
{maketoc inpdf=ignore}ignore the maketoc call when creating the pdf, so that the only maketoc is the one produced by mpdf at the beginning (for cases with wiki page created by Tiki itself, etc, so that placement of the maketoc from mpdf is the expected one, etc)
- replace:
Opinions?- the Wiki page title is hidden by default, and placed by hand in the wiki page where needed (or replaced by human-(more-)readable text), usually at the top with a heading 1 level style.
