Posted January 5Jan 5 I see this Table of Contents extension on the Tiptop site. Can this feature be implemented in a forum Post or Pages app article to have a Table of Contents on the page? TipTop Creating a table of contents in a Pages article would be cool and helpful.
January 5Jan 5 You can have TOC now. You have to drag the widget "Table of Content" to sidebar (in Page Editor to find under "System"). I tried not in forums but in Pages it works.

I tried not in forums but in Pages it works. The only problem with the V5 widget solution is that you can't place a TOC within the content area itself. It currently can only be positioned in the sidebar (best position but not always useful contextually; ie on mobile devices where it will display at the very bottom of a page) or in some other widget space above or beneath the actual content, which makes it kind of useless for most use cases. Allowing for a TOC to be placed as an in-content box similar to the floating/wrap-around box in the current post editor is really the ideal solution, and I would like to support the OP's suggestion here.

Hi @Dreadknux Maybe it has changed since your post, but you can certainly place the widget in the main column. I am already using it.You can also select when the widget will appear (for desktop and/or tablet and/or mobile), though it is buggy. I've added a report to the bug tracker - I expect it will be fixed. I also noted that the widget being displayed at the bottom of the page in narrower (but not narrow) viewports. (I had selected that it should be visible only in desktop mode). Surely, with visibility only for desktop, it never should be moved to the bottom of the page.Anyway, looks like it will be a useful widget when the bugs are ironed out.

I'd like an implementation like Wikipedia, where the TOC sits within the main content area underneath the page's title and meta.I'm glad you found a great use for the widget though! :) Edited July 7Jul 7 by Dreadknux

I see, I think. You mean float the ToC to the left or right and have the content flow around it.I've just taken a look - I've managed to hack this. I'll send you a link via DM. Scroll down a bit to a 'test' block. It is a bit rough, but perhaps good enough. If looks interesting, I'll write up some instructions. It takes just a couple minutes per page.
