Randyl Kent Plampin helped me in his competent way to make it work and patiently answered my questions.
The original example in Weinberger's book was correct. The only reason it did not work at first was the missing code that actually invokes the example.

; Here is the missing code
(create-toc-for-all (dt-child-selected (dt-pointer-container)))

Now it works fine!
