Can I create a Table of Contents in Steemit.com?

I kinda hoped you would see this. :)

I'd love to see it implemented in Steempeak! :)

Here's what I mean by TOC:

Table of Contents:

  1. Link to section 1
  2. Link to section 2
    2.1. Link to section 2.1.
  3. Link to section 3

1. Section 1

text here

2. Section 2

text here

2.1. Subsection 2.1.

text here

3. Section 3

text here

    This should already be doable on steempeak with html. For markdown an extension/plugin is needed and will not be rendered the same on all the frontends.

    Thanks for dropping by for the comment!

    Here's my observation:

    In html, SteemPeak goes to an anchor on opening a post, if the anchor is defined in the post and the URL includes the anchor's name/id
    (i.e. https://steempeak.com/test/@testuser123/6zzct8-test#anchor)

    What it doesn't do right is handle internal links to anchors
    (i.e. <a href="#anchor">Go to anchor!</a>)

    So quick links won't work.

    Even the fact that SteemPeak handles anchors in the URL well is an improvement over Steemit.com though.

    And this is a bug :D

    My intention was to make it actually work also when inside a post. Will be fixed in the next release ;)

        Now the big question is... will anybody use it? The issue is that there are so many features and people don't know about half of them.

          I will! :)

          But I understand what you're saying, and that this is a numbers game and that you need to prioritize.

            So, html is accepted on Steempeak? I should try that. But will Steemit translate it or be able to read html?

              thanks this helps to explain things better.

              I'm guessing markdown doesn't support this but perhaps HTML can.
              However I wouldn't be able to answer this as well as @asgarth, @roadscape and a few others i'm guessing

              .....

              I haven't really seen this being used on any sites i've been visiting these days ... even really long news articles don't seem to use it.

              Also what's the character limit for a steem post? I know they can be really long but is the limit long enough to have wikipedia length articles for example?

                Maybe you've seen them referred as quick links. If they are not used as often it's a pity for many reasons, one of them being UX, another being SEO.

                Also what's the character limit for a steem post?

                That's a good question.

                You don't have to think necessarily really long. Think for example a post explains STEEM, SBD, Savings account, STEEM Power and Delegation, and the reader is only interested in one of them. Quick links help. Or if a post describes multiple features of an interface, and you already know most of them, but are curious about one or two you haven't used yet.
