Quartz can automatically generate a table of contents from a list of headings on each page. It will also show you your current scroll position on the site by marking headings you’ve scrolled through with a different colour.

By default, it will show all headers from H1 (# Title) all the way to H3 (### Title) and will only show the table of contents if there is more than 1 header on the page. You can also hide the table of contents on a page by adding enableToc: false to the frontmatter for that page.

Info

This feature requires both Plugin.TableOfContents in your quartz.config.ts and Component.TableOfContents in your quartz.layout.ts to function correctly.

Customization

  • Changing the minimum number of entries in the Table of Contents before it renders: pass in a parameter to Plugin.TableOfContents({ minEntries: 3 })
  • Collapse the table of content by default: pass in a parameter to Plugin.TableOfContents({ collapseByDefault: true })
