JavaScript Codes Table of Contents.

Before saving the theme, do not modify the JavaScript variables indicated in the description to your convenience .

It is not possible to modify the aforementioned variables to suit you.

<script>//<![CDATA[!function(){	var TocMarginTop = 75;	var TocSpeed = 800;	var TocHidden = false;	var Tocheader = "h1,h2,h3,h4";    var headersDiv = ".post-body";$("#Blog1 "+ headersDiv).each(function(){var t=$("<div class='mhtoc'><div class='mtochead'><div class='mtoctitle'>Table Of Contents</div></div><div class='mtoclist'></div></div>"),a=$(this),i=a.find(Tocheader);if(i.length){var d=$("<ul></ul>");for(let e=0;e<i.length;e++){var l=i[e];d.append("<li data-head='"+$(l).prop("tagName").substring(1,2)+"' ><a href='#xxtoc"+e+"'>"+$(l).text()+"</a></li>"),$(l).attr("id","xxtoc"+e)}var n=d.find("li");for(let o=0;o<n.length-1;o++){var s=n.eq(o),c=n.eq(o+1);if(s.data("head")<c.data("head")){s.append("<ul class='inside'></ul>");for(var f=o+1;f<n.length;f++){var h=n.eq(f);s.data("head")<h.data("head")&&s.find("ul").append($(h))}}}t.find(".mtoclist").append(d),t.find(".mtochead").click(function(){var a=$(this);t.find(".mtoclist").slideToggle(300,"swing",function(){a.toggleClass("mtocon")})}),t.find(".mtoclist a").each(function(){var t=$(this);t.click(function(a){a.preventDefault();var i=$(t.attr("href")),d=i.offset().top;$("html,body").animate({scrollTop:d-TocMarginTop},TocSpeed,"swing"),i.addClass("tocmatch"),setTimeout(function(){i.removeClass("tocmatch")},4e3)})}),t.find(".mtoclist ul li"),TocHidden&&(t.find(".mtoclist").css("display","none"),t.find(".mtochead").addClass("mtocon")),a.prepend(t)}});}()//]]></script>
  • TocMarginTop = 75;
  • var TocSpeed = 800;
  • var TocHidden = false;
  • var Tocheader = “h1,h2,h3,h4”;
  • var headersDiv = “.post-body”;

The variable TocMarginTop allows you to specify the distance that should be left when heading to any address, and here we mean the distance between the address and the apparent page header, and it is useful in the case of a static header on the site, where you can specify the value of the variable with the value of the Hieght Header height to avoid the appearance of the header above the address that was headed mechanism.

The TocSpeed ​​variable indicates the time it takes to go to any address, and you can specify its value in milliseconds.

The TocHidden variable if true allows you to hide headings in the TOC until the Show button is pressed.

The TocHeader variable defines the header tags that will be targeted for fetching from within the content. You can add more, but put commas between them.

The variable headersDiv refers to the element that contains the content of the topic, where Class or Id must be added to this element in the value of this variable. In the case of class, we put a dot before it. In the case of Id, we put a # before it.
