How to install on your store

1Back up your theme (Online Store > Themes > Actions > Duplicate) before changing any code.
2Open Online Store > Themes > Edit code and create a new file under Snippets named article-toc.liquid.
3Paste the complete file - markup, styles and JavaScript are already inside the single file, nothing else to install.
4Call the snippet from the template or section where it should appear using the render tag shown in the Usage tab.
5Preview the product, collection or cart page and test on mobile before publishing.
6Render at the top of the article template - builds the TOC from h2 tags in the content.
