How to add a Table of Contents(TOC) or an index to a Gramps generated report in [https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ LibreOffice]. LibreOffice is a great companion for Gramps.
==Getting startedBackground==
Gramps embeds invisible indexing markers in reports created in the Open Document Text (.odt) format. These indexing markers are also supported in the older Open Office (.sxw) formats.
These hidden tags allow the generation of a Table of Contents or an Index of names within reports.
Note that the hidden tags can also be used during post-process collation of Gramps generated reports with other materials. When pages of a such a collated document are re-flowed, the tags can allow a desktop publishing application to update control pagination in and generate their own style of indices, tables of content & end notes. Because post-process repagination is so ubiquitous, the addition of dated and paginated footers is both easier and more efficient in those external toolsdesktop publishing suites. Footers spanning multiple reports is not a feature planned for the Gramps Books (report automation and collation) tool. {{-}}==Getting started==
