Table of Contents Portlet Options

Option Description
Title Page ID Specifies the Page ID value for the portlet title page. This value generates table of content entries for the indicated page and any child pages. The default is the open page's Page ID. To specify a different title page, enter that Page ID.
Size Specifies the size of the Portlet background, in pixels. Format the value as width x height (for example 200 x 100). The default, auto, lets you resize the portlet manually.
General properties
Left-Right Padding Specifies the number of pixels the text is indented from the left edge of the background box. The default is 12.
Top-Bottom Padding Specifies the number of pixels above and below the text in the background box. The default is 6.
Row Padding Specifies the number of pixels between the rows in the background boxes. The default is 6.
Number of Columns

Specifies the number of columns to use when presenting the table of contents. Use this value to control the number of entries that appear in a row. The default is 1.

If your table of contents has several items, ensure that each row has approximately the same number of columns.

Starting in version 7.1(17), DivePort evenly distributes pages between columns when possible. However, DivePort 7.1(16) and earlier uses the number of columns specified and does not add a row that looks unbalanced. For example, if there are 10 items, in a table with 8 columns, DivePort draws a single row showing 8 items, and omits the other 2 items. In this case, you can set this option to 10 to ensure that they all appear on a single row, or set it to 5 to create a 2-row table.

Corner Radius Adjusts the roundness of the corners on the background boxes. The default is 5. Higher numbers increase the roundness of the corners.
Hover Color Specifies the button background color when you place the pointer on a table of contents button. The default is 255, 255, 221 (pale yellow).
