Hello, first time poster. Drupal 6.8.
I have book contents which contain the class plans of each week. The 2nd level nodes are supplement documents such as Review for Quiz. There is another level down for side notes. I would like to print them, all 14 weeks of class plans in one content body as a summary with nice hierarchal structure.
I can print them all flat using Table view, but that isn't pretty. What I am looking for is similar to collapsed book menu with extra summary field then bring it to My Group as in My Class to each student. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

A view, with a book depth filter?
Using Views2, you can specify a book depth filter. If all the pages you want to print are at the same depth in the book hierarchy, you could specify the depth of page to print, and then generate node views of your content. If you wanted to get tricky, you could use the Views Bonus Pack (although, IIRC, it's currently a dev release for 6) to generate doc format.
Cheers,
Bill

Indent
Hi Bill, Thank you for your response. I, however, need to print the indentation per depth, or everything is printed flat, which is very hard to see. Right now, I hid the levels more than 2, which prints the titles and its summary field nicely by giving up on the child nodes, i.e., assignment node attached to one of the book titles aren't printed.
I then realized this only worked for book 1, but not the book 2 which has all the titles at the top level, while book 1 had a cover page at the first level. It would had been nicer to print all levels but it needs to be indented per depth.
I have Bonus Pack on my other Drupal5 site but I don't recall it did what I need.
