Alphabetical Contents Lists

1. Each letter has its OWN page:

_A |_B |_C |_D |_E |_F |_G |_H |_I |_J |_K |_L |_M |_N |_O |_P |_Q |_R |_S |_T |_U |_V |_W |_XYZ


2. Links WITHIN the same page:

N.B. THIS USES THE SECTION HEADINGS SO THAT IT APPEARS IN THE TOC/CONTENTS


A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | XYZ


Example of the code: [[#A|A]]


#A is the name of the section. By putting |after it you can call the link anything you like.


If there is nothing else on the page you can use ____NOTOC__ .


This avoids a long vertical list in the contents.


N.B. If you do use __NOTOC__ anywhere on the page this overules the __TOC__.


If you can't use __NOTOC__ on a page because it already uses __TOC__ you can do the following:


'''A'''<span id="A"></span> This creates the anchor for the letter A


'''B'''<span id="B"></span> This creates the anchor for the letter B


Then you can use the code [[#A|A]] as above.


See Surname Directory for an example of how this code works.
