Table of contents using Jekyll and Kramdown

2019-04-06 08:04发布

问题:

I'm trying to use Kramdown's auto "Table of Contents" generator on a page (not a post) on my Jekyll site.

_includes/toc.html

<nav>
  <h4>Table of Contents</h4>
  {:toc}
</nav>

my_cool_stuff/my_cool_page.md

---
layout: page
---

{% include toc.html %}

# The title of my page
## The Subtitle of my page

The HTML is generated literally and I'm not getting a list of headers.

<nav>
  <h4 class="toc_title">On This Page</h4>
  {:toc}
</nav>

What am I setting up wrong?

回答1:

{:toc} is kramdown tag for automatic Table of content generation.

In your case, you need two more things to make it work :

  1. Allow kramdown to parse inside html blocks : in _config.yml add :

    kramdown:
      parse_block_html: true
    
  2. in _includes/toc.html, you need to provide a seed list :

    <nav>
      <h4>Table of Contents</h4>
      * this unordered seed list will be replaced by toc as unordered list
      {:toc}
    </nav>

I wanted to do something similar but was trying to avoid having any kind of markup in my post page, similar to your {% include toc.html %}.

I found this great Ruby Gem - jekyll-toc that allows you to place a TOC anywhere in a layout file. You enable it in the front matter.
