    Hi
    any easy straightforward, no-plugins required, clean way to add a table of contents to a blog article?

    For those who don't know what a table of contents is, see this wikipedia article:
    the box titled "content" is a table of contents:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship_2018

    Not looking for sitemaps, not looking for lists of posts. Looking for Table of Contents such as the table of content in this (or any other) wikipedia article:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship_2018

    There's no simple way to build a table of contents for a blog article without writing custom code. You can use a HTML list object formatted as an outline. This requires manually entering the HTML and customizing the CSS.

    I already posted a replay in your other thread as to your assertion that you can't follow-up after someone replies to a thread. These threads remain open for replies until they are marked as resolved and a moderator closes them. If you are expecting to receive emails when someone replies, you have to specifically subscribe to the thread. Emails are not sent automatically.

    Hi Andytc, it is a bit complicated for what I am after.
    But I think at this stage I will just use jump links using <a id="...>

    I was hoping in something easier than this.

    Why not consider something simpler, i.e.
