table of contents--html export

[Jörg Hagmann]

Hi,

When exporting to html, is it possible to change "Table of Contents" in 
the exported file to something of one's own choice? (I don't mean a 
different language).

Thanks, Jörg

Try customizing the variable org-export-language-setup. This will enable
you to change the title of the Table of Contents for your particular
locale.

Another approach: I get rid of the table of contents heading on my
website by using css:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#table-of-contents h2 { display: none; }
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt

Hi Matthew,

Thanks. I presently have "table of contents" turned off, and I dont want 
the same in a different language. What I want is something like "On this 
page", because otherwise users think they are dealing with links to 
other pages and, depending on where exactly the "table of contents" link 
points to, nothing may happen (when the page is short, the pointed to 
link is already visible etc.).  Then they think it didn't work.

I tried to change "Table of contents" in the language section of the 
file "org-exp.el", but that didn't do it.

But from your answer I guess that there is no customization for what I want?

Regards, Jörg

Did you try to customize the variable org-export-language-setup, as I
suggested? The variable allows you to change the name of the "Table of
Contents" header *for* any given language (see full instructions below).

On the contrary, org-export-language-setup is exactly what enables you
to customize the table of contents line. Simply type:

M-x customize-variable RET org-export-language-setup

Then, if you are publishing your websites in English, change the line
that reads "Table of Contents" to "On this page." (Or, change the table
of contents line for the language you are using.)

I just did this and got the following table of contents header in my
html export:

,----
| <div id="table-of-contents">
| <h2>On this page</h2>
`----

I can't find another way than what you probably found already:

M-x customize-variable RET org-export-default-language RET

is the only possibility I can think of now. This will change the name of
the TOC for all of your files and projects.
