How to Create a Table of Contents in Blogger Posts

Table of Contents is a list consisting of points or parts of the subject contained in an article. We can use the Table of Contents as a breakdown of the contents of the article in the form of a link so that it will be easier for the reader to choose what information the subject matter will be read. We often find the Table of Contents on Wikipedia sites, Encyclopedias, and also PDF files from E-Books which are usually placed after the introduction to the article or the main idea of an article.


Alright, here we will provide tutorial on how to create a Table of Contents in Blogger Posts.

Table of Contents


To make this tutorial working, please follow the steps below.


Open Blogger > Click the Theme menu > Click the Edit HTML button > Then add this CSS code before </head> or &lt;/head&gt;&lt;!--<head/>--&gt;


<style type='text/css'>
/* CSS Table of Contents */
#light-toc{background:#f5f5f5;border-radius:3px;padding:10px 20px}
#toc_list{font-weight:700;cursor:pointer;margin:10px 0}
#toc_list:focus,#toc li:focus,.back_tocontent:focus{outline:none}
#toc_list svg{vertical-align:middle}
#toc li{background:transparent;cursor:pointer;margin:.2em 0 .2em 1em}
#toc ol li:before{left:-2em}
#toc li a{color:#222}
#toc li a:hover{color:#1e90ff}
#toc{display:grid}
.back_tocontent{display:inline-block;cursor:pointer;text-align:right;float:right;margin:15px auto;background:#00cec9;color:#fff;font-size:11px;padding:2px 12px;border-radius:99em;transition:all .3s}
.back_tocontent:hover{background:#2d3436;color:#fff}
:target::before{content:&#39;&#39;;display:block;height:40px;margin-top:-40px;visibility:hidden}
</style>

The next step, add the code below before </body> or &lt;!--</body>--&gt;&lt;/body&gt;

<script type='text/javascript'>          
//<![CDATA[          
$(document).ready(function(){$(".post-body a").on("click",function(o){if(""!==this.hash){o.preventDefault();var t=this.hash;$("html, body").animate({scrollTop:$(t).offset().top},600,function(){window.location.hash=t})}})});
//]]>          
</script>

Click the Save theme button. Next to the posting section, make a post in the blogger post editor. Add the code below on the HTML tab (not Compose)

<div id="light-toc">
<div id="toc_list" onclick="if (document.getElementById('toc').style.display === 'none') { document.getElementById('toc').style.display = 'block'; } else { document.getElementById('toc').style.display = 'none'; }" role="button" tabindex="0">
Contents <svg width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path fill="#000000" d="M12,18.17L8.83,15L7.42,16.41L12,21L16.59,16.41L15.17,15M12,5.83L15.17,9L16.58,7.59L12,3L7.41,7.59L8.83,9L12,5.83Z" /></svg></div>
<div id="toc">
<ol>
<li><a href="#toc_1" title="Subheading 1">Bagian Subheading 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#toc_2" title="Subheading 2">Bagian Subheading 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#toc_3" title="Subheading 3">Bagian Subheading 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#toc_4" title="Subheading 4">Bagian Subheading 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#toc_5" title="Subheading 5">Bagian Subheading 5</a></li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>

Edit posts marked with their own writing. Then add id="toc_1" to each heading according to the ID in the code above. For example like this

I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at many times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then i'm sure as hell that you don’t deserve me at my best.
