• Introduction

• Usage
• License
• Showcase
  • I am happy to be the Section 1
    • Section 1 is my boss
      • Hey, the guy above, you are my boss!
        • I am not boss at all,shame!
  • I stand on Section2 and I am empty
    • No you are not, In my subSection, you find characters
      • Here I test: "([<&>]) and *$#+"
  • OK, that's it

GitHub doesn't provide a [[toc]] like function to generate toc(Table of contents) for markdown file. But sometimes an outline of a long readme file or other markdown page is very helpful. That's why does the simple ghtoc come.

ghtoc was written and tested with python 2.7.8

• auto backup the input file before toc was generated and inserted
• currently only support converting ## Section-like format into toc.
• doesn't support unicode characters in ##sections (the link generated by github doesn't work anyway)

toc.py <md file>

then open the <md file> and check if you are satisfied with the generated toc

ghtoc is so simple that itselves readme file won't contain much information. I just put here some example to let the toc in this page have some stuffs. Also it shows how the toc generated by ghtoc look like.
