12.9. Autogenerated Document Titles

Problem

You want to have the description of HTML files autogenerated.

Solution

Place the following in the <Directory> scope where you want to have descriptions automatically loaded from the <Title> tags of HTML files:

IndexOptions ScanHTMLTitles

Discussion

If generating a directory listing of a directory full of HTML files, it is often convenient to have the titles of those documents automatically displayed in the description column.

The ScanHTMLTitles option has mod_autoindex look in each HTML file for the contents of the <Title> tag, and use that value for the description.

This process is, of course, rather file-access intensive, and so will cause a significant performance degradation proportional to the number of HTML files that are in the directory.
