mktoc

Markdown Table of Content generator


Everything between those comments will be replaced!

### Command line

Specify `--stdout` or `-s` to output generated content to `stdout` instead of overwriting file. By default the specified file will be overwritten.

mktoc [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [file]

$ mktoc -s README.md $ mktoc -m 2 -M 4 README.md $ mktoc

If no arguments are given the default or configured (via environment) values are
used. 

See `mktoc --help` for list of all arguments and flags.

mktoc

USAGE: mktoc [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [file]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -s, --stdout If set will output to stdout instead of replacing content in file -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: -M, --max-depth Maximum heading level [env: MKTOC_MAX_DEPTH=] [default: 6] -m, --min-depth Minimum heading level [env: MKTOC_MIN_DEPTH=2] [default: 1]

ARGS: [default: README.md]


### Environment configuration

mktoc can be configured with environment variables, namely:

- `MKTOC_MIN_DEPTH` equal to `-m`
- `MKTOC_MAX_DEPTH` equal to `-M`

Place these variables in a shell environment file such as `~/.bashrc` or
`~/.zshrc`, then just run mktoc without `-m` and `-M`

```sh
# The following in ~/.bashrc configures mktoc to render headings from level 2 to
# level 4
# 
# MKTOC_MIN_DEPTH=2
# MKTOC_MAX_DEPTH=4

$ mktoc README.md

Performance

mktoc is fast but can probably be even faster! Pull Requests and bug reports are appreciated!
