Options

Gimtoc use markdown-toc to generate Markdown TOC. To configure the TOC generation, please refer to the markdown-toc documentation for options description.

Title ignored by default

By default, gimtoc use options.firsth1 === false to remove the markdown title from the generated TOC. You can overwrite this by setting options.firsth1 to true.

Injection section ignored by default

Since we perform an injection in a markdown section, the injection section is ignored when generating the TOC.
