SimpleTOC – Table of Contents Block

Descripción

Add a Table of Contents block to your posts and pages. The TOC is a nested list of links to all heading found in the post or page. To use it, simply add a block and search for “SimpleTOC” or just “TOC”.

The maximum depth of the toc can be configured in in the blocks’ sidebar among many other options. There can hide the headline “Table of Contents” and add your own by using a normal heading block.

The plugin is tested with assistive technology and intended to be accessible, however some third party plugins or themes may affect the individual accessibility on a given website.

FAQ

Configuración de ajustes globales en SimpleTOC

SimpleTOC allows you to configure global settings for your WordPress website. These settings can be enforced globally, overriding any block-level configurations that may exist. To access these settings, navigate to the SimpleTOC section of the WordPress Settings.

How do I add colors or the Box style to SimpleTOC?

Select the SimpleTOC block and open Gutenberg’s Styles tab. Choose the Box style or use the native color controls to set text, link, and background colors. Native spacing controls are available for vertical margins and padding.

¿Cómo excluir un único encabezado de la tabla de contenidos?

If you really want to hide a single heading from the table of contents, then add the CSS class “simpletoc-hidden” to a heading block. You can find this field in the same place as the HTML anchor field: In the Block > Advanced sidebar. But first, think about the reason you would like to hide a specific heading. Maybe you would like to remove all headings of a specific depth level. Then there is an option for that in the blocks options in Gutenberg. If you think this heading should not be part of the toc perhaps it is not needed in the post itself?

I would like to save my SimpleTOC settings as default. Is that possible?

You can convert your configured SimpleTOC block into a reusable block in Gutenberg. It will keep its settings. This way, you can use your desired settings for each new post by adding the reusable block.

How can I style SimpleTOC through theme.json?

Add styles for the simpletoc/toc block to your theme.json. SimpleTOC uses the standard Gutenberg block wrapper and supports native colors, vertical margins, padding, font size, and line height settings.

The following example sets default colors, spacing, and typography for every SimpleTOC block:

{
    "$schema": "https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/theme.json",
    "version": 3,
    "styles": {
        "blocks": {
            "simpletoc/toc": {
                "color": {
                    "background": "#f5f5f5",
                    "text": "#1e1e1e"
                },
                "elements": {
                    "link": {
                        "color": {
                            "text": "#0057b8"
                        }
                    }
                },
                "spacing": {
                    "margin": {
                        "top": "1.5rem",
                        "bottom": "1.5rem"
                    },
                    "padding": {
                        "top": "1rem",
                        "right": "1rem",
                        "bottom": "1rem",
                        "left": "1rem"
                    }
                },
                "typography": {
                    "fontSize": "1rem",
                    "lineHeight": "1.6"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Replace the example values with your theme’s values or preset variables. Selecting the Box style adds the standard is-style-boxed class.

¿Cómo permitir que los desarrolladores excluyan encabezados de forma programática?

Use the ‘simpletoc_excluded_blocks’ filter. For example, this code will exclude heading blocks that are inside a column block.

Ejemplo:

add_filter( 'simpletoc_excluded_blocks', function ( array $blocks ) {
    $blocks[] = 'core/column';

    return $blocks;
} );

¿Cómo puedo cambiar el color del menú acordeón?

The heavy plus character I used can not be colored with css without hacks. But you can change the icon to something else and change the color of the new icon.

.simpletoc-collapsible::after {
    content: "✖";
    color: #e94c89;
}

¿Cómo agregar SimpleTOC automáticamente a todos los artículos?

No veo una solución sencilla por el momento. SimpleTOC es únicamente un bloque que se puede agregar manualmente a cada entrada. Si existiera un plugin que añadiera bloques automáticamente a todas las entradas, esa sería la solución. Considero que esto debería ser un plugin independiente para mantener el código de SimpleTOC limpio y, en fin, simple.

I just wished this block would follow good practices for developing blocks. I was wondering why I can’t style it through theme.json and discovered that it hasn’t standard block wrapper. After inspecting block code, I found that it uses get_block_wrapper_attributes() function, but optionally. After finding that option digged under advanced block settings, I was able to style it like I do other blocks. Otherwise, this is a great block plugin.

Does the job with no fuss. I feel that the option to include a basic show/hide button (no animations or other bloat necessary) would add a great deal of polish for very little impact. But, the plugin advertises itself as something that is minimalist, no CSS, no JS, and that is what it is. The links also follow the CSS rules from the site theme which is strangely not the case for other TOC plugins. Well done this dev.

Comparing this to the “Table Of Contents Block” by WPDeveloper, I prefer this one because: It just works automatically. It has less options, but just enough to do what you need. It adds nothing to the frontend to cause bloat. No CSS, no JS. At least not right out of the box. Additional settings can be enabled that will add these, but it’s nice that we have the option! This is an example of what a well-written plugin should be.
