How do I use category style formatting?
Category style formatting allows you to structure your content pages based on categories. In the wiki, a table of contents will be shown that is based on categories. To use this feature, you need to create a category tree and assign the individual pages to the appropriate categories. Pages that fall under the same category are listed alphabetically.
- In the wiki, click on “Manage”.
- Click the “Settings” button.
- Next to “Page view option,” select “Category style”.
- Click “OK” to save your settings.
Once you have selected category style, you have to create or select a category tree.
