What is a Markdown Table of Contents?
A table of contents (TOC) in markdown is a list of links that point to different sections of your document. Each link uses an anchor that matches the heading's ID, allowing readers to jump directly to that section.
How are anchor links generated?
Anchor links are created by converting heading text to lowercase, replacing spaces with hyphens, and removing special characters. For example, "Getting Started" becomes "#getting-started".
Does this work with GitHub README files?
Yes! The generated TOC follows GitHub's anchor link format, so it works perfectly in GitHub README files, wikis, and issues.
What heading levels are included?
By default, we include H2-H6 headings. H1 is typically your document title and shouldn't be in the TOC. You can adjust this in the options.
