Creating a right-aligned table of contents

The table of contents provides the reader with a quick overview of the newsletter contents. The reader can also jump directly to an article using links.

In the Advanced Template, you can position the table of contents as desired and make numerous colour and font settings.

Step by step

To create a right-aligned table of contents, proceed as follows:

  1. Click the Table of contents element in the Template Editor.
  2. Select the Display table of contents? check box.

  3. Use the Table of contents alignment drop-down list to select where you want to position the table of contents.

    If you select right or left, the table of contents will be positioned next to the introduction in the mailing. If you select below, the table of contents will be positioned beneath the introduction.

  4. Enable the Hide categories? check box if there are to be no section headlines displayed in the table of contents.
  5. Enter a name for the table of contents in the Heading field.

  6. Use the Add element button to add further elements to the table of contents if necessary.

Additional information

The table of contents normally comprises the article headlines. The article headlines can however be replaced by short headlines; in other words, the short headline is displayed instead of the headline in the table of contents.

Note: If neither the headline nor the short headline should be visible in the table of contents, leave the Short headline field empty. The entry in the table of contents will be removed.

You can also use subheadlines in articles. The article subheadline is only displayed in the table of contents if no headline exists for the article.
