## Description

A block that automatically creates a list of anchor links to headings in a post.

### Usage

Insert the “Auto Anchors Links List” block where you’d like it to appear. A post
can only contain one “Auto Anchor Links List” block. Preview the post to view the
list display and test links.

Heading levels h2-h6 are supported. Heading levels (h2 -> h3 -> h4) must be ordered
properly; sub-heading levels are indented in the list.

The “Auto Anchors Links List” block is automatically updated when headings in the
post are modified. Any manual edits to the list will be overwritten. To maintain
the list manually, remove the “auto-anchor-links-list” class from the block to transform
it into a WordPress core list block.

#### Additional Controls

Apply the “Manual Anchor” block style to a heading and then set its anchor text 
attribute to:

 * [empty] A plain heading tag (omitted from auto anchors list)
 * [“custom-anchor”] A persistent custom anchor; useful for permalinks (included
   in auto anchors list)

Add a “no-auto-anchor” class to any heading block to omit it from auto anchors list.
