The toc entry element represents a single entry in a table of contents, including all related child entries.

A toc entry typically consists of the text on the leader line followed by an optional ref element indicating the corresponding print page. The ref element can also be used to link the text of the entry directly to the location in the document when the table of contents or document does not include page numbers.

The toc block element is used to group all secondary information that falls below the leader line. It is not intended to group subentries, which should be included as children of the primary entry following the block..

Usage Example

<toc>
    <entry>
        CHAPTER I. VARIATION UNDER DOMESTICATION.
        <ref>7-43</ref>
        <block>
            <p>Causes of Variability — Effects of Habit — Correlation of Growth — Inheritance — 
                Character of Domestic Varieties — Difficulty of distinguishing between Varieties and Species.</p>
        </block>
