Option to enable generating the TOC by headings inside the content
This is possible manually using internal linking. Each heading has a unique ID that is the slugified title. It is possible to manage the ToC by creating a list of internal links at the top of the page.

I understand that this isn’t the ideal solution, but it’s more flexible than a fully auto-generated system. Will still give this some thought though :)
Could you add an example for more complex titles¹ with spaces, umlauts and so on?
Or present a way to get the slugified title. (Might be the more universal solution.)

It looks like this is supported by a “directive” plugin for Bear’s Markdown renderer.

Using ChatGPT, I’ve generated a table of contents for colin’s blog:

It may not be accurate, but ChatGPT is a great writing tool.
