Hi, just a suggestion to add the ToC feature and it’s usage to some documentation somewhere. As it is, there is the ToC plug-in in the setting, but to find out what it is and how it is used one has to scour the forum (which is just putting [[TOC]] somewhere in the note as far as I understood it, optionally with the custom CSS modification to make it floating).

@Langosh
There is a page on the Joplin site. Admittedly it took me a while to find it again and I knew it was there!
[https://joplinapp.org/markdown/](https://joplinapp.org/markdown/)
The **TOC** is listed under “Plugins”.

Indeed it is there, somehow it eluded me. In that case, sorry for the post and thanks!

but it misses some features like $\
to specify what level you want to have in your TOC (h1 & h2 in this case)

Just a little sidenote for those who copy/paste this line: Watch out for those quotes. It took some time for me to find out why this useful feature didn't work for me 😉
I did actually read the TOC plugin page but it didn't give me a clue on how to use the 'level' modifier.

Hi @cyr06
Maybe I misunderstood the feature your point out but this does not show a different behaviour between `[TOC]` and `$` with more than 2 levels
Could you explain how is working?
