 * Hello, even after the latest update there is a problem with accessibility. Here
   is the solution on how to solve it:
 * Open easy-table-of-contents.php
 * Search for 1968: class=”ez-toc-sticky
 * INSERT BEFORE: id=”content-table” aria-label=”content-table” role=”navigation”
 * Search for 1972: class=’ez-toc-open-icon’
 * INSERT BEFORE: role=’button’
 * This fixes everything. Great plugin what you have provided here.

 * I can confirm this issue (incorrect use of link on the TOC open/close toggle),
   as reported by the [Accessibility Checker plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/accessibility-checker/).

 * Thanks for the update. It’s a shame that this small change hasn’t been made yet.
   Now I have to manually adjust it on all pages again. It would be nice if this
   were fixed in the next update. It doesn’t really take that long.

 * Since the problem has not yet been resolved, the line numbers have changed as
   a result of previous updates. Therefore, the correct line numbers and corresponding
   adjustments are listed below.
 * Open easy-table-of-contents.php
 * Search for line 2029: class=”ez-toc-sticky
 * INSERT BEFORE: id=”content-table” aria-label=”content-table” role=”navigation”
 * Search for line 2033: class=’ez-toc-open-icon’
 * INSERT BEFORE: role=’button’
