Introduction to Table of Contents

Table of Contents

A textual table of contents is recommended to help with navigation and accessibility and can be required by retailers for longer ebooks and audiobooks.

Automatically add a text table of contents to your ebook, by using CircularFLO Accessibility tools.

For short and simple books, e.g. children's picture books, a table of contents is usually unnecessary and without one you will still see a thumbnail table of contents in most EPUB readers.

For longer books a mutli level table of contents can be quickly added to any InDesign book or document using the CircularFLO Table of Contents panel.

Alternatively, CircularFLO can use the InDesign generated table of contents if one is present.

A table contents does not need to be added to InDesign layout to use this feature or the table of contents for the ebook can be saved separately to the one used in the layout.
