To risk being misunderstood but size doesn't
seem to matter we have
documents being built up to around 120 A4 pages at the moment, we have
activated 'sub pages' within the main namespace and have developed
system that takes an index page eg. named test, which lists subpages
such as
*[[/part1/]]
*[[/part2/]]
*[[/part3/]]
*[[/part4/]]
that converts this to
*[[test/part1|part1]]
*[[test/part2|part2]]
*[[test/part3|part3]]
*[[test/part4|part4]]
----
[[all:test|See all sections on one page]]
and also gives us this wiki text that then bulds the whole lot onto one page
====[[test/part1|part1]]====
{{:test/part1}}
====[[test/part2|part2]]====
{{:test/part2}}
====[[test/part3|part3]]====
{{:test/part3}}
====[[test/part3|part3]]====
{{:test/part3}}
----
*[[test|return to :- Test]]
We then go on building up till we have all the section / sub sections of
the document on one page, we have some documents when the subpage
nesting is down to 5 levels, this is the maximum that you can use and
still get a usable TOC created.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll build a
somewhat more complex system (we
want to automatically generate large documents, and then make them
available for our users), but one important fact from this is that
HTMLDOC works well.) Should be interesting.
