 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to have a hierarchy defined separately, as I have different headings
   being used through out the page, can I define the hierarchy, what should be 1,
   followed by 1.1, 1.2 and 2 and so on.
 * How to do that ?

 * If I understand the questions correctly, there is not a way to do what you want
   with ezTOC. The headings are used to create the hierarchy, there is not an alternative
   means of doing so. Sorry.

 * What I mean to say is I want something like
 * 1. Title A
    1.1 Point relevant to Title A 2. Point B 2.1 Subpoint – B
 * How is that possible or will all follow in full numerals only?

 * Like this:
 *     ```
       <h1>1. Title A</h1>
       <h2>1.1 Point relevant to Title A</h2>
       <h1>2. Point B</h1>
       <h2>2.1 Subpoint – B</h2>
       ```
   
 * The on the Table of Contents settings admin page, change the counter type to 
   either Decimal or Numeric. One of those two use the `1.,1.1,2,2.1` style counter.
   I can not remember which off the top of my head.
