Creates a table of contents from h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6 elements

<img src=http://s.natalian.org/2016-06-05/toc.gif alt="Demo">

An element with data-fill-with="table-of-contents" is filled with an ordered list of the headers.

This allows users to hyperlink directly to answers.

Install

go get github.com/kaihendry/toc/cmd/toc

Example

foo.html contains:

<h1>FAQ</h1>
<nav data-fill-with="table-of-contents" id="toc"></nav>
<h3 id="how-do-i-create-a-faq">How do I create a FAQ?</h3><p>Like this!</p>

Run the tool over the HTML

$ toc foo.html

And something like the following should print to /dev/stdout

<h1>FAQ</h1>
<nav data-fill-with=table-of-contents id=toc>
<ol>
<li><a href=#how-do-i-create-a-faq>How do I create a FAQ?</a>
</ol>
</nav>
<h3 id=how-do-i-create-a-faq>How do I create a FAQ?</h3>
<p>Like this!</p>
