Use

Generate a table of contents:

```toc
# This code block gets replaced with the TOC
```

If you like to overwrite the global settings in place (camelCase or kebab-case):

```toc
# This code block gets replaced with the TOC
exclude: Table of Contents
tight: false
ordered: false
from-heading: 2
to-heading: 6
class-name: "table-of-contents"
```

Options

exclude

string? | array? — default: ''
Exclude titles matching this string (new RegExp('^(' + string + ')$', 'i')). If an array is passed the array gets joined with a pipe (new RegExp('^(' + array.join('|') + ')$', 'i')).

tight

boolean? — default: false
Tight list items.

ordered

boolean? — default: false
Creates an ordered list.

fromHeading

number? — default: 2
Minimum heading depth to include.

toHeading

number? — default: 6
Maximum heading depth to include.

className

string? — default: toc
Set the class-name of the generated div.
