No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Gutenberg / the block editor already adds enough bloat. This plugin contributes even more to that, adding at least 4 stylesheets. “SimpleTOC – Table of Contents Block” by Marc Tönsing does a much better job, in my opinion. This plugin does have a lot of nifty options, that those of you not concerned about your site’s performance may be interested in having.

    I had a small CSS-related issue with the plugin, but the developer very quickly sent an update to correct it. Great support!

    Started to use it like an hour ago, works well. The only thing it missing, that comes to my mind, is an option for ‘Scroll To Top’ arrow — ‘Scroll to Table of Contents’. It would be perfect if devs would add it 🙂

    Perfect – now I have a clickable TOC on my page. The only thing it’s missing is anchor tags for deep linking.

    It finds automatically finds a heading and compiles it into TOC, But if the heading starts with a number (i.e for example if I have 2 content in a table 1. banana 2. orange or like 1Banana 2orange or 1)banana 2)orange ) it discovers the headings but it doesn’t link to that specific section. N.B This happens regardless of TOC’s style whether it is numbered list or not, if your heading has a number at start it occurs This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by algebrasoft.

    I just needed a block with a table of contents for my longer blog articles. This plugin delivers exactly that: It finds all the headings in the article and compiles them automatically as a TOC with links to these headings. The TOC is highly customizable through the block settings, however I prefer to style it through my global CSS stylesheet which delivers a consistent look and feel for all my TOC. Very nice!
