import BrowserWindow from '@site/src/components/BrowserWindow';

Each Markdown document displays a table of contents on the top-right corner. But it is also possible to display an inline table of contents directly inside a markdown document, thanks to MDX.

## Full table of contents {#full-table-of-contents}

The `toc` variable is available in any MDX document and contains all the headings of an MDX document. By default, only `h2` and `h3` headings are displayed in the TOC. You can change which heading levels are visible by setting `minHeadingLevel` or `maxHeadingLevel` for individual `TOCInline` components.

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```jsx
import TOCInline from '@theme/TOCInline';

<TOCInline toc={toc} />
```

```mdx-code-block
import TOCInline from '@theme/TOCInline';

<BrowserWindow>
<TOCInline toc={toc} />
</BrowserWindow>
```

## Custom table of contents {#custom-table-of-contents}

The `toc` prop is just a list of heading items:

```ts
type TOCItem = {
  value: string;
  id: string;
  level: number;
};
```

Note that the `toc` global is a flat array, so you can easily cut out unwanted nodes or insert extra nodes, and create a new TOC tree.

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```jsx
import TOCInline from '@theme/TOCInline';

<TOCInline
  // Only show h2 and h4 headings
  toc={toc.filter((node) => node.level === 2 || node.level === 4)}
  minHeadingLevel={2}
  // Show h4 headings in addition to the default h2 and h3 headings
  maxHeadingLevel={4}
/>
```

```mdx-code-block
<BrowserWindow>
<TOCInline
  toc={toc.filter((node) => node.level === 2 || node.level === 4)}
  minHeadingLevel={2}
  maxHeadingLevel={4}
/>
</BrowserWindow>
```
