This extension will allow you to generate a table of contents with scrollspy for your articles automatically.
I know the acronym is A.S.S. That wasn't intentional but I'm too lazy to change it.
- Enable plugin and module
- Assign module to position you like, ideally in a sidebar
- Read through plugin settings - all the settings are in the plugin! Not the module
- Plugin scans for headings at the levels you defined in all articles
- Module/plugin displays the formatted page menu
- Feature/specs
- Up to two levels of headings can be used, for example, it can add every h2 and h3 element to the list, or h3 and h4, and so on...
- It can auto generate the first item based on page title
- Bookmark/anchors are automatically generated
- Scrollspy can be turned on or off, so you can use it just for a table of contents if you want
- A few different display and color options (default template, dark, and light)
- Can be published to a module position, or you can display in a floating panel on side of page
- You can specify minimum # of items to count before making the list, so you don't show a table of contents on short articles
For best results
- Use consistent heading structure
- Don't use weird symbols or icons in headings
- Use on a template that includes bootstrap (should be most templates)
- Prefer module to the floating panel thing
- Avoid using on articles with over 10 or so headings, at that point you should probably turn your article into separate pages
