Overview
The SimpleTOC WordPress plugin enhances your posts and pages by automatically generating a Table of Contents (TOC) block that links to all headings within the content, making navigation easier for readers. Users can effortlessly add the TOC by searching for "SimpleTOC" or "TOC" within the block editor. The plugin offers various customization options, such as configuring the maximum depth of the TOC, hiding or renaming the TOC headline, and styling it through Gutenberg's native styling options. It supports multiple languages, ensures minimal and valid HTML output, and includes features like collapsible interfaces and smooth scrolling effects without additional JavaScript or CSS. SimpleTOC is ideal for creating FAQ sections and is compatible with themes such as GeneratePress and tools like Rank Math. Developed as an open-source project, it invites contributions on its GitHub page.

Have been using this block for quite a while now. It never failed to deliver.

Simple, easy to style, to the point and most importantly – works in FSE templates out of the box. No annoying nags in the WP Admin. Thanks!

If you add this block/plugin and try to use Back to Top feature in GeneratePress it will turn something that works into something that takes 15s to scroll to very top.
At first I thought maybe I needed to create a function to change the speed but nope, it’s this plugin….

I have tried many different plugins for creating an automated Table of Content, but for the time being I’ll stick to this one.
The plugin does everything I need, and if a problem occured it was solved in no time. Marc’s support actually deserves more than five stars.
Dank je wel, as we say in the Netherlands 👍🏻
