Table of Contents

[est3ban129]

It would be great to be able to make a table of contents of the articles like in Wordpress, it is really useful for the seo
For wordpress: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-create-a-table-of-content-in-wordpress-posts-and-pages/

now that xenforo will have articles it would be great to be able to use this.

You can already do that with custom BB codes.

There was a plugin but it's been removed and I couldn't find anything to do this.

Anyway, I think it's so basic that it should be incorporated into Xenforo

The caveat is that you would rely on non-technical users to correctly use heading tags/bbcode correctly, with seo-implications if they do not.

this is useful for users in the editor's group or on the forum staff who want to create a small blog.
It may not be appropriate to give access to this to all forum users logically, but it is a really useful option for making articles, guides, tutorials or any other type of content

even youtube is applying this in their videos

yeah, i like the idea for those who can use it properly. I'm looking at it more so from an old content perspective... 20 years of articles that won't have this format would need to be updated by moderators to take advantage of it.

How do we do that?

I don't think there is a plugin to do this

great suggestion

I hope you guys will implement this in Xenforo as standard, it is really needed fro SEO.

Really a very good and simple resource, I use Mkdocs for documentation, but thinking about passing everything to Xenforo, basically, it just lacks a similar resource.

It is mainly useful for larger article/document.

Anchor links for headings​

Every time a heading is used within content, it now has an automatic anchor link generated which can be accessed on hover via the link icon that appears next to the heading:

This will allow you to link directly to headings within your content.

Now we will have links to headings. Hopefully a Table of Content function will also be added.

A Table of Content function would also stimulate members to use Headings.
Table of Content is great for SEO.
