About
Small and simple README.md preprocessor for creating table of contents.
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.
Usage
node toc.js 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
