I don't agree that it should be fully automated by any stretch of the
imagination. I can see that it is an option that some may wish to use, but
I dislike the limitations, and do not see it working as the only means to
use.

too
many
structures to have an easy solution.
What Alex is thinking, if I understand his work correctly, is that when
you
work on a new book in nsPage,
you "define" what the structure is (his work right now is wrapping
titles/chapters in {{title}} templates, to give the book a logic
structure), and then a bot runs, create corrispondent ns0 chapters and
transclude pages.
I think that ns0 automation is something long needed, as we could
suggest
users to focus just on nsPage and Indexes. All the
difficult
transclusion
part would be automatic (or semi-automatic).
I wonder if there is a better way to define the logic structure of our
book, maybe directly in the Index page.
I don't know what would be easier for the user:
* define the table of content once for all in the Index page
* define the table of content once in the book Toc (there is often one,
if
not always, when needed)
* define the table of content just putting templates thorough the book,
as
the reader goes through the book.
What do you all think?
