Question

I have a topic about Subversion. Now I have many child topics like SubversionClient, SubversionAdministration etc. that have Subversion as parent topic.

Now I want to show a TOC of the child topics at the end of the Subversion topic. How is this possible?

Thanks a lot for help.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I think you should be able to do this using a meta search on the topic parent, although if they all start with Subversion... then this will work:

%SEARCH{"^Subversion.*" type="regex" scope="topic" nonoise="on" nosummary="on" format="   * $topic"}%

More info: TWiki.VarSEARCH, TWiki.VarMETASEARCH

Thank you very much. I'd like to have such an index of the topic's children on every page of the TWiki, so is there a way to integrate this into the template somehow?

This will be available with TWiki 4.1. See HierarchicalNavigation. It relies on the ability to pass the format parameter to METASEARCH that is not in TWiki 4.0.x.
