Table of Contents

There is special markup available for creating a table of contents for a magazine. See Sorcerer's Apprentice 14 for an example of it in use.

The markup has two advantages. The first is that the contents will automatically be added to an index covering all issues of the periodical. The second is that the contents and the full index are displayed in a sortable table. Click on the column heading to sort by that column.

The markup looks like this:

<TOC‍>
P:Sorcerer's Apprentice
I:14

S:Fiction
22^From the Tree of Time^{{CL|Fred Saberhagen}}
35^The Sword and The Curse^{{CL|Lee Duigon}}

S:Articles
13^Devil Games? Nonsense!^{{CL|Michael Stackpole}}^{{CL|Ken St. Andre}}
19^Ship of the Skies^{{CL|John Sapienza|John T. Sapienza, Jr.}}
...
</TOC‍>

The first two lines indicate the name of the periodical and the issue number.

The S:Fiction line starts a section called "Fiction", and the contents of the section follow. Each line contains a page number, article title, and up to three authors, separated by carets (^). If there are multiple authors, they are separated from each other by carets.

If the index page for the periodical doesn't exist, create a page (supposing the periodical is "Sorcerer's Apprentice") at

Index:Sorcerer's_Apprentice

The following markup needs to be put in the page

<PeriodicalIndex‍>Sorcerer's Apprentice</PeriodicalIndex‍>
