My previous workaround was to export once with TOC, copy-paste the TOC bit to the org-file in a #+BEGIN_HTML block, then export again with :body-only t. But each run takes a couple of hours (another question for another day), which is a pain, and not convenient should the document structure change. I noticed in the thread that Carsten mentioned writing a "hook" that strips the other stuff. Don't have much experience writing hooks, but there should be a way to write a custom publishing function just like the current one which strips everything but the TOC. I'll use your patch while I continue thinking about it. Thanks again. Jay
