Discussion on: [Survey] Automatic Table of Contents in Dev.to Articles

[Retiago Drago]

I think not every post could fit under this umbrella. I see it more like how YouTube generate their timestamp section onto video which doesn't have one. It is suitable for longer videos but not so much for shorter ones. Do you know what I mean?

Also, I kind of addicted to collapsible table content that I learned from GitHub can be applied here too like this below. I've been using it ever since.

Outlines

• Introduction
  • Steganography
• Project Setup
• Core Concepts
  • Mapping Techniques
  • Bit Manipulation for Hiding Images
  • Bit Manipulation for Revealing Images
  • Bit Manipulation for Reconstructing Images
• Implementation Details
• Results and Visualization
• Limitations and Future Work
• Conclusion
  • Summing Up the Journey
  • Technical Achievements
  • Key Takeaways

But how would you link to the anchors in the table of contents? I can't seem to find a way to assign my headers an id

[JackTT]

Like GitHub, each heading has its ID that is normalized to a URI.
You can see this article: dev.to/jacktt/go-build-in-advance-...

Nice! I love details/summary in HTML, I didn't figure out how to do this in dev.to.
