Question

pisa to generate a table of content via html convert

Answer 1

+1 A:

I found I couldn't get that pagebreak to work for me, so I used inline CSS and, specifically, the page-break property to fix it.

In your case, this should do the trick:

<div style="page-break-after:always;>
   <pdf:toc />
</div>
<h1> test </h1> ...etc...

Answer 2

+1 A:

As far as the links are concerned, there may be a way to automatically generate them, but I found it easier to manually create a table of contents using links and anchors:

<h1>Table of Contents</h1>
<ul>
    <li><a href="section1">The name of section 1</li>
    <li><a href="section2">The name of section 2</li>
</ul>

<h2>The name of section 1</h2>
    <a name="section1"></a>

<h2>The name of section 2</h2>
    <a name="section2"></a>

There's obviously some duplication, but I haven't found it difficult to maintain for my documents. It depends how long or complicated you expect yours to became.

The bigger downside is that this option won't include page numbers.

Steve's comment about the page-break property is correct. I personally used a separate CSS file with

h2 {
    page-break-before:always;
}

so that all of my sections would start on a new page.
