Frequently asked questions
How deep does nesting go?+
All H1-H6 levels are nested. Trim deeper levels manually if needed.
What if my doc has only H2-H3?+
Nesting starts at the highest level present, indenting from there.
Can I pin the TOC to the side?+
Markdown TOCs flow inline. For sidebar TOCs, your renderer (Docusaurus, etc.) needs to support that natively.
