# Directories & Lists

Creating directories, indexes, bookmarks and other navigation aids.

There are three methods for tables of contents and similar lists, differing in effort and flexibility:

Method | How it works | Runs | Suitable when …
--- | --- | --- | ---
Markers | `<Mark>` marks positions in the text, `sd:pagenumber()` returns the page number; the Publisher takes care of storing the data | 2 | you only need page numbers for known names
XML data set | entries are collected manually, saved with `<SaveDataset>` and processed in the next run | 2 to 3 | the list needs its own structure or additional information (e.g. article lists)
Single run | pages are reserved with `<InsertPages>` and created at the end with `<SavePages>` | 1 | the length of the list is known in advance
