Table of Contents Generator

About

Small and simple README.md preprocessor for creating table of contents.

Say you've got a README.md file with lots of information, and you want to create a table of contents with reference links

This script will help you to do so. It extracts information of titles in a given file, and inserts a formatted table of contents in the position, specified by "@@TOC@@" line.

Usage

node toc.js README.md > NEW_README.md

Example

# Foo Great Project

Hey, this is my project

## Contents
@@TOC@@

## About

Some info about it

## Authors

My picture here

Will be transformed to

# Foo Great Project

Hey, this is my project

## Contents
- [Foo Great Project](#foo-great-project)
    - [Contents](#contents)
    - [About](#about)
    - [Authors](#authors)

## About

Some info about it

## Authors

My picture here

After the preprocessing you're free to modify the result as you wish. For example, it makes sense to remove reference to table of contents from table of contents
