What is MD TOC?

A TOC generator that scans a Markdown document's headings and produces a nested list of links, ready to paste at the top of the file.

How it works

Headings are parsed and slugified using GitHub's exact algorithm, including -1/-2 suffixes for duplicates, then linked in a nested list.
