Above the offset is zero. If you want them to go a little more inward(right) or outward(left) you can do that with the offset option.

Note: This plugin only works if ToC numbers are enabled by tocbase using the bTocNum option.

tocbase version v8.4.5 or up.

In your HTML page's <head>, include the following alongside tocbase library:

<script  src="https://unpkg.com/tocbase-plugin-smart-indent@3.0.3/dist/cdn.umd.min.js"></script>

Note: It is recommend to use a fixed version(like above) instead of latest keyword, to avoid any troubles if breaking changes happen.

This will result in a smartIndent variable holding the plugin function.

To install it, run in your terminal:

npm i tocbase-plugin-smart-indent

Import it in your script like below if you are using ESM syntax:

import smartIndent from "tocbase-plugin-smart-indent";

You can also use common js syntax:

const smartIndent = require("tocbase-plugin-smart-indent");

Follow your bundler's instructions for generating the output file and then load it in your HTML page through script tag to use it.

const toc = createToc({
  plugins: [smartIndent(), ],
});

To move the items a little inward, let's pass an offset:

const toc = createToc({
  plugins: [
    smartIndent({ offset: "0.5rem" }),
  ],
});

Type: A string representing CSS length value. Default: "0"

With offset you can move the ToC sub lists left(with a negative value) or right(with a positive value).
