I maintain various specs and FAQs in manually edited HTML documents,
and I'd very much like some simple way of automatic section numbering
as in 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.2 etc, with table of contents generation
plugged into the start of the document so that each section can be
accessed via a link (and also maybe automatic footnote numbering).
It doesn't seem too much to ask, and I could probably whump up a
script myself in a couple of days. But to save reinventing the
whell, I was wondering if there is anything already available,
short of using Word for Windows and "Saving as HTML". (As I said,
I'd prefer to maintain the documents by hand.)
P.S. Also, I'm not sure if SSI is suitable, as the files should be
viewable locally via "Explore".
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers.
Cheers

Assuming you are using structural headings (which it sounds as if you
should be..) then this will generate a table of contents automatically
using this javascript file. It's very simple to use. Just put in
<body onload="generate_TOC('toc');">
instead of your <body> tag and
<div id="toc"></div>
where you want the TOC to appear.
Based on an article in Evolt as referenced.

Clearly this has to be client-side, then. PHP will be of no use for this
if you require local viewing.

LaTeX and LaTeX2HTMl do that, but it was quite a hassle to get the
HTMl part going. Also maybe tex4ht with LaTeX. You can also produce
PDF and PS easily from LaTeX.

Many thanks, Martin. This server-side solution is certainly of some use,
and hopefully if I have php installed on my PC it might work also for
client-side viewing. Well, I guess there's only one way to find out..

Erm, it's client side, as you presumably meant to say. It's a javascript
solution, not PHP..
