##settings

TOC = {
    'TOC_HEADERS' : '^h[1-6]',  # What headers should be included in the generated toc
                                # Expected format is a regular expression

    'TOC_RUN'     : 'true'      # Default value for toc generation, if it does not evaluate
                                # to 'true' no toc will be generated
}

All those settings can be overwritten on a per page/article basis via metadata. Just use the respective keyword as metadata (example: toc_headers: ^h[1-4])

#Differences between pelican-toc and pelican-extract-toc extract-toc uses a markdown extension to generate a toc and then extract it via beautifulsoup. This extension generates the toc itself, removing the need to write [ToC] in your articles. There also is a 'health' check on id's which should be generated via markdown.extensions.headerid per default, but somehow don't always end up in the output.
