Github Markdown Toc
This project is a command-line utility designed to automate the creation and maintenance of tables of contents within markdown files. It functions as a static documentation processor that parses document headings to generate hierarchical navigation lists, which are then injected directly into the source files.
The tool distinguishes itself by supporting both local files and remote network streams as input sources. It utilizes marker-based content updating to refresh existing navigation sections without requiring manual edits, and it includes authentication support for remote requests to bypass service rate limits when fetching external documentation.
Beyond basic generation, the utility handles the normalization of headings into URL-safe anchor slugs and manages the structural metadata required for consistent document indexing. It is intended to streamline documentation workflows by automating the maintenance of navigation structures in repository files and distributed technical content.
