Acknowledgement

Thanks to Avaris for going out of the way to help me fix Unicode issues and doing a thorough code review.

Thanks to gw0 for adding Pandoc reader support.

Why do you need it?

Pelican can generate ToC of reST and Markdown files, using markup's respective directive and extension. Such ToC is generated and placed at the beginning of article.content like a string. Consequently it can not be placed anywhere else on the page (eg. <nav> HTML5 tag, in header, or at the end of your article's contents).

To solve this problem, this plugin extracts ToC from article.content and places it in its own article.toc variable for use in templates.

Requirements

extract_toc requires BeautifulSoup.

pip install beautifulsoup4

How to Use

This plugin works by extracting the first occurrence of enclosed in:

<div class="toc"> for the default Markdown reader
<div class="contents topic"> for the default reStructuredText reader
<nav class="TOC"> for the Pandoc reader

If ToC appears in your article at more than one places, extract_toc will remove only the first occurrence. You shouldn't probably need to have multiple ToC in your article. In case you need to display it multiple times, you can print it via your template.

Template example

Add something like this to your Pelican templates if missing:

{% if article.toc %}
    <nav class="toc">
    {{ article.toc }}
    </nav>
{% endif %}

reStructuredText reader

To add a table of contents to your reStructuredText document (.rst) you need to add a .. contents:: directive to its beginning. See the docutils documentation for more details.
