paul bolger	Saturday 27 February 2010 11:58:07 pm Looks like I'm replying to my own question. The only way I've found to what I needed was to use a 'universal variable' So {eztoc( $#node.object.data_map.description )} works. Thanks to the chap with the Russian sounding name... (can't find the post again!) for the tip. Also: I read that this isn't used much any more. If anyone has a better way of doing it I'd be interested to hear. BTW: I ended up using a custom tag rather than an embedded object. A custom tag is slightly easier for the user, but an embedded object would allow you to insert a toc for a page other than the current one - which may be handy in some situations. Paul Bolger
Nicolas Pastorino	Tuesday 02 March 2010 1:18:19 am Hi Paul, Although i would instinctively had gone for your second solution, i investigated a bit on the first issue you raised. It appears that in the embed templates, the only variable always present is $object, representing the embedded content object. Additionally, you may have a $object_parameters variable, containing various attributes (editable in the small popup appearing when embedding an object). About the $#node notation, altough indeed not used often, it is fine, and i do use it often.

Hi Paul,
