Skip sectoin TOC when it contains only one article

sup · 10-29-2013, 10:50 PM

I am writing a new recipe for a print magazine. I used the parse_index() method to get sections and articles that belong to those sections. However a number of sections contain just one article. When I browse the ebook, it is a bit tiresome to open these TOCs with just one item included.

Is there some way to avoid their creation?

The ToC is created based on whatever you return from parse_index. Merge all your one artivle sections into a single section called Miscellaneous if you want.

Hm, that would work but dould be suboptimal. First it would mess the order of the articles (some one article sections are in the end of the magazine) and these one article sections would dissappear from the global TOC. This is not such a big deal though.
