Making a generated chapter TOC look like a table




This is a real challenge.

Our book TOC is a genererated TOC

Our chapter TOC is to appear like a table with two columns

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
|                        Topic                            |       See Page
|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------|
|   Installing the xxx module                     |          2-2
|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------|
|   Connecting cables to the xxx module   |          2-6               |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------|
|   Removing the xxx                               |          2-8
|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------|

Right now we plan to insert x-refs to headings and page numbers in a table.

Is it possible to make an auto-generated Chapter TOC look like a table?

I have been thinking of a TOC paragraph format with lines above and below
and graphics charaters in the numbering field of the paragraph designer.
This idea won't work, however, as the book TOC is a normal TOC which is not
in a table.

Generating a Chapter TOC and by hand converting it to a table seems to
difficult to handle.
