Re: [docbook] creating clickable titles
No, I was testing a fairly small document - much smaller and with way fewer heading than the example you have given. Perhaps it is too small? ;-) On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 1:57 PM, Peter Desjardins <> wrote: The _javascript_ that creates the expanding/contracting table of contents in the navigation pane might be taking a little longer to render if you have a very large number of headings. Are you publishing source documents that have a long list of headings? For example, this document has a lot of headings but its navigation pane remains visible after page loads for me (in Chrome): http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E41069_01/Platform.11-0/ATGPlatformProgGuide/html/index.html Do you have more headings than that one?
