Content With The Contents Module?

Above this text you can see the contents at a glance feature of the Contents & Discovery Tool. Useful, but it doesn't allow for descriptions of each section.

Below this text is the table of contents module. As you can see it lists the titles of all of the sections in this lens. It does work well. What I am offering here is just an extension to it.

This came about as I was wondering if it was possible to create my own table of contents with working links. Well yes it is and the next section is an example of it.

• The Standard Table of Contents
  This is what the Squidoo Table of Contents looks like.
• The Customised Table of Contents
  Spot the difference. This version has descriptions.
• The How To Do This Bit
  Find out how to make a Table fo Contents just like this.
• Dress Code
  How to add bullet points or numbers to your contents.
• Other Uses
  Can these links be used in places other than the conents section?
• The Guest Book
  You can tell us all what you think here.

• After you have finished your lense, then go to the Add Modules bit and add the Table of Contents module.


• You will also need to add a Text / Write module, if you don't have one spare.

• Edit a Text / Write module.


• On the Table of Contents module click the first link.


• The address bar of your browser will have a new address in it. It will probably read something like this
  
  'http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/workshop/contents
  ?bypass=true#module10318066'



• Highlight and copy the bit at the end of the address that says
  
  '#module(some numbers)'.


• Now create a hyperlink by typing
  
  <a href="paste the bit that says #module(numbers) here">Now add a title</a> Then you can add as much of a description as you want here.

The working finished line would look like this:

The Standard Table of Contents - What does the standard Table of Contents look like, and why would I want to change it?.

And that is it more or less. Just repeat clicking on the original Table of Contents to get other module numbers.

• this creates bullets


• and makes your contents look more ordered

1. Or maybe use


2. numbers if you prefer

You could also use the same link code to point people around your lens. For example You might have a section that you are refering to in your text that you want people to look at straight away. You could use the hyperlink to send someone to the section, and then add one to send them back.

You know if you sit still too long typing, you can slow your metabolism down and maybe even gain weight.

Don't worry help is at hand you could take a look at my:
