I took a quick look and didn't really see if/how this is somewhere on a dev agenda, so apologies if I missed it!
My team is spread around the world so it isn't possible for some of them to physically look at a book's table of contents to see if they want to check it out.
I'd love to have a separate field for Table of Contents, and have it be exandable/collapsible. To date, I have been entering the contents in the Comments field, but this makes our browse view pretty cumbersome because that field makes each entry take up a good portion of the page. I have refrained from just PDF'ing the ToC and uploading it because I need the contents to be key-word searchable.
Any news or ideas on this front?
thanks much!

I know what you mean about having a lot of data in the comments field. I have been putting TOC data in some of my omnibus and anthology comment fields too, for my own reference, and yes, it is cumbersome... especially with something like the Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, or other volumes with lots of shorter works, such as a single volume of Shakespeare's complete works.
As I have approximately three linear inches of books for every linear inch of shelf space, and even some books stored off of my main premises, I can't always easily grab a book to refer to the TOC. I'm considering using an MS Word document or text editor document, to list my TOC data as the latter two documents are searchable, where most PDF's are not.

This is certainly on our stack. No timeline at this point though.

I'm still holding my breath; have I missed anything?
