⭐HIGHLIGHTS

🆕 GUTENBERG BLOCK

Since v2, you can now use the block to insert a table of contents.
The block lets you easily HIDE or EDIT specific headings.
In addition, the block picks up on headings that would be generated by a third party shortcode or block but invisible in the actual editor.
In the PRO version, you can override any setting for a specific block from the block settings panel.

🚀 PERFORMANCE ORIENTED

Joli Table of contents uses a combination of minified CSS and Javascript to run at maximum speed.
It also does not depend on jQuery to improve performance.

🧠 SUPERIOR HEADING PROCESSING

Unlike its competitors, Joli Table of Content picks up on headings hidden behind third-party shortcodes and blocks. This means that it will show the headings that do not directly appear in the editor, but are still present in the front-end !

🖌 THE MOST CUSTOMIZABLE TABLE OF CONTENTS PLUGIN

Joli table of contents has been designed to really match your expectations.
Every single part of the table of contents is highly customizable, and uses a CSS variable approach to make it even more customizable.
You can adjust a large array of settings including:
* Margin
* Padding
* Border radius
* Border
* Colors
* Fonts
* and more…

🔽 ICON OR TEXT TOGGLE

Choose between a Text toggle for a more classic look OR an Icon toggle for a more modern approach.

📐 CUSTOM THEME READY

Joli Table of contents now bundles a custom theme engine, that lets you create your own theme.
There is a lot of CSS variables that you can override or/and create more complex styles.

Improve your page UX with the Partial Fold on load option.

🎛 DIFFERENT SETTINGS PER POST TYPE [PRO]

Create different settings per post type for maximum flexibility.

This also works with custom post types.
