Table of content (toc) for notebooks

[mocquin]

So far I've been using jupyter notebooks with a great nb-extension called toc2. Examples can be found in the doc.

Everything is detailed on the dedicated page, but basically, here is what it does:

• based on the markdown content of the notebook, it automatically adds number or letter to header lines (which makes the first level 1 header "1", the second level 1 header "2", the second level 2 header in the second level 1 header "2.2", and so on)
• then creates a table of content in an HTML cell at the top of the notebook, with links to the corresponding headers of the notebook
• allows you to display a tab (dragable, sizeable, dockable) with the same table of content, that you can click to go to any header in your notebook
• there is also a "navigate" menu at the top of the notebook, which once again allows you to browse your notebook based on the markdown header content.

There is already an issue on the jupyter-notebook project, but the solution is simply to use the notebook extension...

From what I understood (correct me if I'm wrong), not all the nb-extensions can be used with jupyterlab, and I would love to have this kind of "table of content" in the notebook within jupyterlab.

I'm not saying I would like to have the exact same functionalities, but for me the automatical-numbered header and at least one way to browse the notebook with the headers are some really powerful tools for UX.

Yes indeed. I coudn't find it with a "table of content" search, didn't thought to try "table of contentS"...
