Impact and Available Solutions

Follow up

This is actually a useful feature, not a bug. It was discussed an agreed on in SpecificHeadingsExcludedFromTOC. Sometimes it is useful to add some content to a topic that should not show up in the TOC, e.g. an edit icon (for composed docs with includes).

This is in fact used in at least two TWiki installations I have seen. It is documented as such in TextFormattingRules: "Any heading text after !! is excluded from the TOC"

Example usage:

Example heading with excluded icon    

The following would be placed in WebPreferences:

• Set EDITICON =    

You could create a big composed doc where each INCLUDEd topic can be edited easily.

i'd agree that it sounds useful - but its not what you would call intuative :O

OK, i see. i never thought about useful implementations other than

---+!!

Since the exclamation mark is common in everyday language it's maybe not the most obvious choice from an end user perspective.

Otherwise the current implementation is elegant.

i also didn't consider anything other than

---+!!
