🚀 Usage

Markdown TOC exposes 2 commands to the user:

• GenerateTOC: this opens up a telescope prompt for your cwd to select an markdown file to generate the TOC from

• GenerateTOC: can also take in 1 argument as a number which will set the heading level to that argument overriding the default heading level set in your config and will also ignore if you set to ask for heading level

• DeleteTOC: If your cursor is inside of a TOC matching when calling this command the default TOC format it will delete the table

⚙️ Configuration

markdown-toc comes with the following defaults:

{
  -- The heading level to match (i.e the number of "#"s to match to)
  heading_level_to_match = -1,

  -- Set to display a dropdown to allow you to select the heading level
  ask_for_heading_level = true,

  -- TOC default string
  -- The first %s is for indenting/tabs
  -- The sencond %s is for the original headings text
  -- The third %s is for the markdown files path that the TOC is being generated
  -- from
  -- The forth %s is for the target heading using the markdown rules
  toc_format = '%s- [%s](<%s#%s>)',
