Please check latest org-toc.el (0.9a): http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/u/org-toc.el ,----[ org-toc-margin-default-format ] | The default margin format. This is overriden by any occurrence | of #+TOC_MARGIN: in the base Org buffer. | | %l stands for the heading's line number. | %h stands for the number of headings below this heading. | %t stands for the number of TODO items below this heading. | | For example, a format like "%5l hl:%2h td:%2t | " would show: | | 1456 hl: 2 td: 1 | * A headline here | | - this headline is on line 1456 | - there are 2 headlines below it | - there are 1 TODO item among these 2 headlines | | Attention: using a complex margin format for big Org files could | slow down things considerabily. `---- > Or maybe it's better to keep things simple.

But If people think we should force a max size for the TOC, let me know. -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
