Table of Contents

The Table of Contents (TOC) feature automatically generates a navigable index for your posts, improving content structure and reader navigation. This feature can be enabled globally or on specific posts.

Enabling TOC Globally

To enable the Table of Contents feature for all posts on your site, insert the following code snippet:

<script>
window.pvs && pvs.initTOC();
</script>

This code snippet will activate the Table of Contents for all posts on your site.

Enabling TOC for Specific Posts

If you prefer to enable the Table of Contents only for certain posts, you can use the internal tag system in Ghost:

1. Log in to Ghost admin
2. Go to Posts, and open the post
3. Open the Post settings sidebar
4. Specify the #toc to Tags
5. Click Publish

The Table of Contents will now appear only on posts with the #toc internal tag.

Disabling TOC for Specific Posts

In cases where you've enabled the Table of Contents globally but want to disable it for specific posts, you can use another internal tag:

1. Log in to Ghost admin
2. Go to Posts, and open the post
3. Open the Post settings sidebar
4. Specify the #hide-toc to Tags
5. Click Publish

The Table of Contents will not appear on posts with the #hide-toc internal tag, even if it's enabled globally.

Enabling TOC for Pages

If you prefer to enable the Table of Contents for certain pages, you can use the internal tag system in Ghost:

1. Log in to Ghost admin
2. Go to Pages, and open the post
3. Open the Post settings sidebar
4. Specify the #toc to Tags
5. Click Publish

The Table of Contents will now appear on pages with the #toc internal tag in the content area.

If you prefer the Table of Contents in the sidebar, you'll need to add it to your page separately. Learn more here
