Navigating Mini-Edition Tables of Contents

Expanding and Contracting a Table of Contents

The historical documents in a mini-edition are usually grouped in sections and sometimes into subsections. When the arrowhead points down, the section is open. When it points to the right, the section is closed. Click on the arrowheads to open and close sections.

You can also expand all of the sections or subsections by clicking on the "expand" button in the button bar at the the top of the screen. Each time you click, the table of contents expands a level.

Expanding the TOC

You can also collapse all of the sections or subsections by clicking on the "contract" button in the button bar at the the top of the screen. Each time you click, the table of contents contracts a level.
