Problem
The WebTopicList (linked to as Index in the side bar) lists all the topics as bullets, which is not very elegant. Using the FilterPlugin we can make it look more like a directory, making it much more useful.Solution
Once you have the FilterPlugin installed, change the following line in System.WebTopicList from:
%TOPICLIST{" * [[%BASEWEB%.$name][$name]]"}%
To:
%MAKEINDEX{"%TOPICLIST{"$name" separator=","}%" cols="3" header="$anchors" format="[[%BASEWEB%.$item][$item]]"}%
As all the other WebTopicList topics simply include the topic from the System, the changes are immediately applied to all the webs in your wiki.

FAQIf AddFilterPlugin goes through, it might be nice to have this as the default in Foswiki.
