There are lots of posts that come in a series, and they usually include their own kind of "Table of Contents" to easily navigate among the other posts in that series. Examples include this one with a full Table of Contents, or my own tutorial series with forward/backward links in each post.
Is there any way to automatically generate this kind of ToC or easily provide forward/backward navigation through a series without needing to manually update the links in each post. I feel like I've seen something like this here on dev.to, but can't find that post again to save my life. Or maybe I'm just going crazy...
I'm imagining something like adding a Front Matter property with the name of a series, and then a custom tag to generate the full ToC for all a user's posts in that series, ordered by date, and another tag that looks up the next and previous posts in that series and generates the appropriate links.
You're not going crazy, this does exist on some articles you've probably seen around (example). Right now it's a manual process for admins to add articles to a series, which is why you haven't seen more of them across the site.
Your UI suggestion to use the Front Matter is pretty interesting. Part of the delay (aside from general busy-ness) is that we've wanted to give more thought to the user-facing side of the feature.
I'm sure @ben would have some additional thoughts.
Yeah. As Peter mentioned, at the data level this feature exists. It's the UI we never got to settling on. We want this to be settable in your dashboard but it's been sitting around in the icebox.
But the timing is good for us to surface this again soon and make it happen. Thanks for the push.
That would be a sick feature.
Having problems embedding gist. Getting an error [Invalid Gist link: gist.github.com/arnold-wafula/192d... Links must follow this format: gist.github.com/username/gist_id]
It looks like linking to a single file form a gist is not supported.
Yes! everything in one place! (Now Ben doesn't have to remind people how to do embed π)
And the question I have is, do you have a plan to add a support CodeSandBox/StackBlitz, ... etc?
Wow, so many!
Does link work for external websites as well?
Not at the moment. It's meant to in the future though, we haven't gotten around to it.
I'll write up a new issue in case you want to give it a go π
Well, let's talk about it after August 8th :D
Saving this for the next post.
Simply awesome.
I didn't that Dev had podcasts, thank you!
Hey that's amazing as it allows us to do interactive tutorials!

Very Helpful Post ! Thanks....
I just discovered this helpful post. Thanks!
is there a way i can embed my twitter profile?
This is great. Can it be added to the help page of supported embeds so I don't have to Google it to find it's been here all along? :D
This is great, thank you! Bookmarked.
Thanks for the list of embeds. π
so cool
Thanks Jess. I'm always wondering how to enhance things. Perhaps at some point we could figure out how to incorporate DartPad π
