[Question] how to display 'table of content'?

[hawkoli1987]

First of all, a big thank you for the elegant design and user-friendly features. It's especially helpful to person completely new to webpage design like myself!

From the documentation, it seems really easy to create a TOC, just by adding two lines of code in the markdown:

1. this ordered seed list will be replaced by the toc
{:toc}

However, it never gets displayed on my page, while the other features (e.g. notes and quotes) works perfectly.

I have installed the 'jekyll-toc' plugin in gemfile, and added it in '_config.yml' plugin as well, but it still doesn't show up.

Are there any other basic steps that I've missed out?

Hi,
did you marked the list items as headlines? You should put a # as h1 or ## as h2. Regular markdown.

I found that this didn't work if you were using the GFM markdown processor. Instead I had to use the theme default kramdown.

# _config.yml
markdown: kramdown
