**Background**
The [listings](https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-listings.html) feature allows one to automatically populate the contents of a page. I expect it was intended for use only in websites, for example an overview of blogposts.

**My Modification**
I used the meta-data of chapters (`title`, `meta-description`) and a listing page to create an informative TOC. So rather than only showing chapter numbers and titles - readers now also see the `meta-description` as part of a table (without filter, sort etc).

**Feature Request**
The educational book we are creating should have both a HTML and a PDF version. Unfortunately, the `listing` page remains empty in the PDF output. I believe the `table` type should be suited for inclusion in a PDF - which is why I want to request it as a feature.
