This is a small node script to preprocess and create table of contents for markdown documents. It examines the document you pass to it, creates a table of contents based on your titles, and inserts it instead of every line that contains '@@TOC@@'

About
Say you've got a README.md file with lots of information, and you want to create a table of contents with reference links
This script will help you to do so. It extracts information of titles
in a given file and inserts a formatted table of contents in the position,
specified by @@TOC@@
line.
Table of Contents
The table of contents for the README.md was generated with this utility, so you can treat it as a demo
Installation
Easy with npm
npm install -g md-toc-filter
Usage
First, make sure you've got @@TOC@@
token on a separate
line in your markdown-file. This is the place the table of contents
will be inserted to.
Then, preprocess the file:
md-toc-filter README.md > NEW_README.md
Example
# Foo Great Project
Hey, this is my project
## Contents
@@TOC@@
## About
Some info about it
## Authors
My picture here
Will be transformed to
# Foo Great Project
Hey, this is my project
## Contents
- [Foo Great Project](#foo-great-project)
- [Contents](#contents)
- [About](#about)
- [Authors](#authors)
## About
Some info about it
## Authors
My picture here
After the preprocessing you're free to modify the result as you wish. For example, it makes sense to remove reference to table of contents from table of contents
Limitations
The script doesn't support underlined titles like this
My Title
========
Use sharps instead
# My Title
