Excluding items in a TOC

[skip.hanson]

Hello. I am trying to exclude certain things from a my TOC and I cant get it to work. I wanted to exclude a heading that starts with "Not this" so I added the following in the "Exclude Headings" box on the TOC editor dialog .\Not*\.

This does nothing. I cant find any examples of using this method to exclude headings. Any examples would be greatly appriciated.

Please try to add

"Not*"

without quotes, what for do you need dots?

[skip.hanson]

Thanks Alexey. I tried Not*. No change. I put the dots in because I dont understand what the format is suppose to be. The example in confluence is not very helpful.

Not* does not work.

The correct expression would be:

• Not.*
• Not this.*
• Not th.*
• or anything similiar and in between

In other words:

Don't forget to add a "." which makes sure that the beginning of your expression (here: "Not this") can be followed by basically anything.
