TOC title to be diff't than topic title name

[spinningrachel]

Hi there.

I'd love to have different topic titles than those that appear in the table of contents, so that if the heading is long for example, I can call it something else in the TOC so it looks better and then give it its full name as the title in the topic itself (the first image).

I thought if I added meta to the extensions, then the nav title (both in the second image) would render as the TOC title.

and the topic title in the metadata of the topic itself (third image) would render as the topic title, but that's not what's happening.

I also tried this syntax in the topic markdown:

How can I do this, or ... what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

So the title is for the page meta. But, what you need to do is set the page title as the level 1 title in the markdown:

---
title: Set up the Management server
---

# Set up the Management server

Once you've...

Thanks @martinbira !! Works like a charm :)

Note that you can also explicitly define the TOC title/label if you enabled the Attribute Lists extension:

## Document title {: data-toc-label='Table of contents title' }

This will leave the page title as-is, which is probably want you'd want to show up on Google Search results.
