Ordered TOC doesn't work about md-toc HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,
thank you for reporting this.

Try putting the list marker explicitly:

print(md_toc.build_toc('test.md', ordered=True, list_marker=')'))
or
print(md_toc.build_toc('test.md', ordered=True, list_marker='.'))

I think that some API changes are needed.

Thank you for your quick reply, it works! The result is not exactly what I expected, though. Is there any option/plan for generating chained numbering, like 2.1.4?

from md-toc.

No, unfortunately there is no such option but it might not be too hard to implement.

May be it's a little harder if you renumber back the actual sections. I think this is how the numbering works usually. However, when the Markdown file is versioned, it results in some more noise. So I think I will stick with ordered=False for the moment. Thanks! 😸

Ah ok. No problem.

But if you mean like:

1.
2.
    2.1.
        2.1.1.
    2.2.
        2.2.1.

I'm not even sure it is possible (i.e. interpreted as an ordered list) according to the markdown specifications (see for example https://github.github.com/gfm/#ordered-list).
