NOTOC
Type: $blogExpOpt
Scope: self (as sub-post only)
Purpose: Suppresses note’s inclusion in (ancestor’s) Table of Contents
For sub-posts only.
To include a sub-post in its parent post but prevent its listing in the Table of Contents, add NOTOC to its $blogExpOpt. This is assuming that you have activated the Table by setting the $blogTOC of the parent post to a natural number.
NOTOC sub-posts change their background color in Outline View to dark red. Set the value of the custom color _notoc to change this.
NOTOC sample
Here’s a good use of NOTOC. Notes should be given longer names so that they can be referred to uniquely. But long names aren»t always attractive on export. The solution is to set the $DisplayExpression to something simple. If the note is a repeating module that would look horrible in a Table of Contents, set its $blogExpOpt to NOTOC.
For example, this is how the media macros examples are handled:
$blogExpOpt of the samples to NOTOC prevents this.
