Frequently Asked Questions

What is a table of contents?
A table of contents (TOC) is a list of headings that provides an overview of a document's structure. It typically includes clickable links that jump to each section, helping readers navigate long content quickly.

How does this generator work?
Paste your content and the tool extracts all headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.), preserves their hierarchy, and generates a formatted list with anchor links. You can copy the HTML or Markdown output directly into your content.

Does a table of contents help SEO?
Yes. A TOC improves user experience signals like time on page and reduces bounce rates. It also helps Google understand your content structure and may earn you jump-to links (sitelinks) in search results.

What heading format should I use?
Use proper HTML heading hierarchy: one H1 for the page title, H2 for main sections, H3 for subsections. Markdown equivalents (# ## ###) also work. Consistent hierarchy creates a logical TOC structure.

How do anchor links work?
Anchor links use an ID attribute on each heading element. When clicked, the browser jumps to that section. This tool generates slugified IDs based on heading text (e.g., #how-it-works).

Where should I place the table of contents?
Typically after your introduction and before the first major section. For very long content, consider a sticky TOC sidebar. WordPress plugins like Easy Table of Contents can automate placement.
