Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for automatically displaying a directory of a document. The method includes: obtaining a directory hierarchy of the document, the directory hierarchy including entries of the directory and levels of the entries; and displaying, based on the directory hierarchy, the entries of the directory in a form of thumbnail symbols in a directory display area, the directory display area being an area disposed at a side position in a document display area for displaying the directory. The method and apparatus can generate a directory automatically based on the document structure without manual maintenance, and the directory structure of the document is displayed in a form of thumbnail icons at a side position in the document display area, thereby leading to the simple and clear directory without occupying too much display space.
