Syntax

<txp:section_list />

The section_list tag is a single or container tag which is used to produce a list of linked sections. When used as a container tag, it is used as an opening and closing pair, like this:

<txp:section_list>
    …contained statements…
</txp:section_list>

Examples

Example 1: Display a linked section list

<txp:section_list label="Sections" wraptag="p" break="br" />

Adds the label ‘Sections’ and wraps the output in a paragraph with each section on its own line.

Example 2: Display a styled section list

<txp:section_list wraptag="ul" break="li" />

Example 3: Set active class using the container tag

<txp:section_list wraptag="ul" break="">
    <li<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'> class="active"</txp:if_section>>
        <txp:section title="1" link="1" />
    </li>
</txp:section_list>

This code will add class="active" to the <li> element around the currently viewed section in the list.
