[Zope-CMF] User created Tree/Outline/collapsable documents?

[Colin Leath]

Do you have suggestions on creating a CMF document which allows users to display trees?

For example: MS Word Outline format.

+header
    contents1
    contents2
    contents3
    +header
        contents1
        contents2
    +header

and so on.

My current plan is the following:

    Users can create a normal CMFDocument using structured text.
    Whenever they want to create a heading that can be collapsed/expanded, they can put
    <c>My collapsible header</c>

    tags around that header.

    I will create a python script, which when called, will take the editable body from the CMFDocument, create a parsed XML object from that document and return a page rendering the ParsedXML object as a tree with expandable/collapsable headers.


This sounds sort of kludgy, is there an easier way?

Has anyone else found a nice way of letting users create collapsable documents?

This would also allow a script-created table of contents (It would be nice if users had an easy way of adding a TOC to stx documents).

Thanks for any suggestions!
