Forum:Numbering Bullets from Contents within the Body of the Doc

Is there a way to use the bullet numbers from the TOC within the document body without having to manually add them?
 * (two pairs of underscores) would make the table of contents appear on any page with sections. If that's what you meant. – Smiddle 17:11, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Not exactly. What I was hoping to do was say I have a TOC, 1. Intro 2. Purpose 3. End, would be to have the 1. 2. or 3. appear in the body of the text next to the heading. Not the whole TOC, just the apprpriate number for that heading. I realize that this could be redundant, but I am working on a wiki to provide step by step instructions and therefore there are some short sections within the body. When you click an item in the TOC and it takes you to that section, I am concerned that the reader may get lost among the heading without the corresponding TOC number. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for the tip though!


 * I think you'll just have to do that manually. --Splarka (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
