How can I create a table of content in GitLab wiki?

Question

I am a big fan of the __TOC__ that creates a table of content on a Wikimedia page.

Whenever you write things like this on a Wikimedia page:

This is a page for my project

## Credits ##

bla bla

## License ##

bla bla

__TOC_ automagically creates a table of content that allows you to navigate through inner links of the page.

I noticed that this is somehow possible in GitHub wiki pages: How do I create some kind of table of content in GitHub wiki? by using different tricks.

However, I miss this feature in GitLab wiki pages. Does it provide such functionality?

Answer 1

So this exists! I finally found a Merge Request in in the GitLab Community Edition: Replace Gollum [[_TOC_]] tag with result of TableOfContentsFilter

As its name describes, to have a table of contents you need to write the following:

[[_TOC_]]

All together, you can write something like:

This is a page for my project

[[_TOC_]]

## Credits

bla bla

## License

bla bla

and will show like this:

This is available from the GitLab 8.6 release as described in its milestone.
