<h3>About</h3>

<p>A tiny and simple to help with navigation in long texts by forming an automatic Wikipedia-like table of contents.</p>
<p>It works by scanning the text for headings (<code><h1>-<h6></code> HTML tags). If more than a certain amount of headings (3 by default) are found – a table of contents with bookmarks is formed and inserted to the post content. Location (above or below) the text can be chosen in settings page.</p>
<p>TOC is formed as HTML5 <code><nav></code> element with nested ordered list inside. No specific styling is provided, so that it fits organicaly into the text. If you need specific styling, include it to your theme’s CSS.</p>
<p>You can also use a shortcode – <code>[toc]</code>, template tags – <code>get_toc()</code>/<code>the_toc()</code> and a widget – <code>tinyTOC Widget</code>.</p>
<p>The plugin is translation ready and has Lithuanian translation.</p>
