Is it possible to generate a Table of Contents (TOC) for headings with a specific style class in Webflow without using a CMS?
Yes, it is possible to generate a Table of Contents (TOC) for headings with a specific style class in Webflow without using a CMS. Here's how you can achieve this:
Create a Container: Start by creating a container element on your page where you want the Table of Contents to appear. You can use a div block and give it a unique class name.
Add a List: Inside the container, add an unordered list element (ul) by dragging and dropping it from the Elements panel.
Style the List: Apply the desired styling to the ul element. You can customize the font, colors, spacing, and other properties using the Style panel.
Add a Link Block for Each Heading: Go to the Navigator panel and locate the section containing the headings you want to include in the TOC. Add a Link Block element (a) for each heading. To create a Link Block, select the heading text, right-click, and choose "Wrap With Link" from the context menu.
Link to Heading: With the Link Block selected, go to the Settings panel and set the link's destination to the respective heading by clicking on the "Link field" and choosing the heading. This will create an anchor link to the heading.
Style the Link Block: Customize the Link Block's appearance to match your design by applying desired styles such as text formatting, font, color, and hover effects.
Repeat for Other Headings: Repeat steps 4-6 for each heading you want to include in the TOC.
Create the TOC Items: In the Navigator panel, select the ul element created in step 2. Then, for each Link Block in the page hierarchy, select and drag it as a child element of the ul element in the Navigator panel. This will create TOC items as list items (li).
Update List Item Order: Arrange the list items in the desired order using the Navigator panel. You can drag and drop the list items to reorder them under the ul element.
Repeat for Other Pages: If you have multiple pages with the same TOC structure, you can copy and paste the container element to each page and update the link destinations accordingly.
Once you publish your site, the TOC will dynamically link to the respective headings on the page. Visitors can click on the TOC items to scroll directly to the corresponding heading.
Example:
<div class="toc-container"> <ul class="toc-list"> <li><a href="#section1">Section 1</a></li> <li><a href="#section2">Section 2</a></li> <li><a href="#section3">Section 3</a></li> </ul></div>This code creates a TOC with three sections, where each section links to a specific heading on the page.
