Re: subject tree listing from publish

[Christian Moe <mail@christianmoe.com>]

For a listing by a hierarchy of subject, I think the index system does
what you want and is the only approach that does what you want out of
the box. But if I understand correctly, you already have an index, and
want this to be a separate listing?

Yours,
Christian
