Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Markdown TOC Generator

Are the anchor links compatible with GitHub and GitLab?

Yes! The slug generator accurately strips punctuation, lowercases characters, and converts spaces to hyphens matching GitHub's algorithm.

What if multiple headings have the same name?

The generator automatically appends numerical suffixes (e.g., `#example-1`, `#example-2`) to keep anchors unique.

Can I exclude H1 from the generated TOC?

Yes, simply set the minimum heading level to H2 in the options panel.
