Good point, Ian.
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PageTableOfContents
is another good idea in the same direction.
Any sort of lists lose their usability if people stash lots of stuff inside
the list itself. A list is nicely done if done with short lines; if
anything needs details or explanation, it could go on a wikipage of its own.
The really neat trick would be to have the number captured by the link and
included in a (:title:) directive on the target page, so that the pages
would automatically get the right number, no matter how one shuffles the
list. E.g.
#[[page 1]]
##[[page 1.1]]
#[[page 2]]
And each time a page with a list like this is edited, if the respective
pages exist, they get the numbers at the beginning of their (:title:)
directive modified to reflect the text that the #+ gets replaced with.
If it's not something many people would like, I'll look into modding the
NumberedHeaders to do so and add a different recipe.
A problem may arise if the same page is included in more than one list. I
wonder how this is dealt with in the WikiTrails...
While I check, if there are any suggestions, opinions, comments, they're
welcome.
