We use the TocPlugin especially for technical documentation, see for example http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/Manual (sorry, this is still old stuff which is not running Foswiki yet - this patch is part of the needed work to replace that installation); when viewing such a "book" it is very convenient to have navigation buttons that link to the "previous" resp. to the "next" topic (as determined by WebOrder), and back "Home" to the tableof contents.

This patch attempts to implement such a feature. I am not an expert for Foswiki, so please bear with me if the implementation is not ok. for example, I have no idea if adding the %TOCBUTTONS% as part of the "contentfooter" in a custom template is acceptable, or if there is a better way to do this. All comments welcome.

Changes in patch version 2: - add user documentation - print navigation buttons only for topics listed in WebOrder; don't print error messages for other topics
