Unlike other plugins that require you to manually define HTML anchor IDs for every heading, this plugin dynamically creates safe, unique anchors for you on the fly. If you decide to add a custom anchor in the editor, the block respects your choice and links to it seamlessly. Built specifically for the Gutenberg block editor, it features deep design settings, letting you style the block to look native to your theme. You can adjust colors, spacing, borders, box shadows, and choose between bulleted, numbered, or unstyled layouts. For longer posts, you can enable sticky mode with custom offsets so the table of contents follows the reader as they scroll, highlighting the active section in real- time. On mobile devices, the block can optionally collapse into a neat, space-saving toggle. ### Key Benefits & Features: * **Automated Anchor Generation:** Automatically generates HTML anchor links for all core headings (H2, H3, H4) on the page. No manual configuration needed. * **Scroll Tracking & Highlights:** Highlights the current heading in the table of contents as the user scrolls through the article, improving user navigation. * **Sticky Mode with Offset:** Pins the table of contents to the screen on desktop displays. Includes a customizable top offset setting to prevent overlapping sticky headers. * **Mobile-Friendly Toggle:** Collapses the list on mobile viewports (under 782px) into an expandable toggle button to preserve screen real estate. * **Deep Styling Controls:** Customize background colors, border radius, borders, padding, shadows, font sizes, link gap sizes, and indent offsets from the block settings. * **Layout Styles:** Choose between ordered (numbered), unordered (bulleted), or plain (unstyled) lists. * **Design Presets:** Quickly apply preset layouts like ‘soft’ or ‘editorial’ for immediate styling. * **Performance Focused:** Extremely lightweight with clean PHP and optimized JavaScript. No external database queries or heavy assets. ### Developer Credits This plugin was developed by ConicPlex, focusing on WordPress development.

The block scans and extracts standard headings (`core/heading`) created with the default WordPress block editor. ### Do I have to manually add HTML anchor tags to each heading? No. The plugin automatically generates unique and web-safe HTML anchors (slugs) from your heading text. However, if you manually enter a custom HTML anchor in the Gutenberg block settings for a heading, this plugin will prioritize and use your custom anchor instead. ### Which heading levels are supported? You can toggle inclusion for H2, H3, and H4 headings in the block settings. This gives you complete control over how detailed your table of contents is. ### Can the table of contents stay visible when scrolling? Yes. Enabling the “Sticky” attribute in the block settings keeps the TOC container fixed on the screen as the reader scrolls. You can define a top offset (in pixels) to ensure it clears any sticky admin bars or theme headers. ### How does this help with SEO? A table of contents provides search engine crawlers with a clear, semantic map of your post’s structure. By generating anchor links, search engines like Google can display “jump-to” links directly in search results, which can increase your click- through rate. ### Does this plugin track user data? This plugin runs entirely on your local server. It does not load external assets or store tracking cookies on your site.
