"Auto-number headings" applies to the
numbering of headings within the
body of the article (as I just discovered by enabling it). What I want
to be able to do is disable the auto numbering of table of contents
entries in the table of contents that appears at the *beginning* of
the
article.
Now I understand what you want. There isn't any way to do it without
touching the code. These are the relevant lines from Parser.php:
if( $doNumberHeadings || $doShowToc ) {
$tocline = $numbering . ' ' . $tocline;
...
}
Since $doShowToc will be true, you'll always hit that middle line.
Also, the numbering is attached with the same style as the text, so
there's no way to hide it with CSS. The smallest change you could make
to the PHP-file to do this is to comment out the middle line above.
Sincerely,
Matthew Simoneau
