[platform-help-dev] <toc label=".."> with <anchor> and <link_to>

["David Cramer (Tech Pubs)" <dcramer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I posted the following on eclipse.platform. Since I didn't get a response there, I'm guessing that it's not possible to do what I describe. In that case, it should probably be a feature request. The issue is that if I create content that works well in a bottom-up context, I end up with a toc that looks funny (has an unneeded toc level) in a top down context. The scenario here is with API docs that are generated at build time. While I could adjust the tocs manually or with a script, it would be better to have it work in both situations. I'm not sure what the solution is--perhaps a switch on <toc label="The foo component api documentation" link_to="/testwrapper/toc.xml#anchor_id"> to let the toc with the <anchor> to use <toc>'s label as a containing folder?

Thanks,
David

If I have two plugins and do the following (see toc.xmls and plugin.xmls below), I'll end up with:
 
Test wrapper
    Intefaces
    File List
        foo.h
        foo.idl 
    ...
    Intefaces
    File List
        bar.h
        bar.idl     
    ...
 
Instead, I want to have the following:
 
Test wrapper
    The foo component api documentation
        Intefaces
        File List
            foo.h
            foo.idl     
        ...
    The bar component api documentation
        Intefaces
        File List
            bar.h
            bar.idl  
        ...
 
I would prefer NOT to put a extra topic element in the tocs like so: <toc
label="The foo component api documentation"
link_to="/testwrapper/toc.xml#anchor_id"><topic label="The foo component
api documentation"><topic href="index.html" label="Interfaces"/>...
because I may also want to use this plugins in contexts where I make the
toc top down, and it would create an unneeded toc level. 
 
Is that possible? 
Thanks,
David
