table of content
available versions
There are two versions available, the first one for online reading and the second one for
printing. Both rely on Java-Script and are tested on some Gecko-Engines, like Firefox, Mozilla,
Epiphani and so on. Therefore it also shows, what is currently possible with automated
textpocessing in web-browsers and a good practice for me.
The
online version mimics some kind of interface for a better online
reading experience. It dynamically builds the table of content and numbers the headings, does
some animation, image zoom with preloading and the menu is built from an index XML file, which is
used by the second view. The
second view for printing parses
auto-magically all websites, extracts the content and builds the final page. It is even
intelligent enough to rewrite anchor links to a final note for reference, because printed links
loose their linking information!
