Options

The smalsToc script supports the following options:

NameDefault valueDescription
contentElementId'toc-content'Specifies the ID of the content element containing the headings.
listTag'ul'Specifies the HTML tag to be used for the list (e.g., 'ul' or 'ol').
listClass''Specifies the CSS class to be applied to the list.
listItemClass''Specifies the CSS class to be applied to each list item.
linkClass''Specifies the CSS class to be applied to each anchor link.

scrollSpytrueEnable or disable the scrollSpy functionality. When set to true, the TOC will automatically highlight the active section based on the user's scrolling.

Functionality

  • The script creates a Table of Contents based on the headings within the specified content element.
  • Each heading is transformed into an anchor link within the TOC.
  • The script normalizes heading text to create unique anchor names.
  • The TOC structure mirrors the heading structure, maintaining hierarchy.
  • Optionally, the script supports custom CSS classes for styling.

<body>
<div id="toc-content">
   <h2>Section 1</h2>
   <h3>Subsection 1.1</h3>
   <h3 class="toc-ignore">Subsection 1.2 (Ignored)</h3>
   <h2>Section 2</h2>
</div>
