What is TOC Generator?
Long READMEs and docs need a table of contents, but hand-writing anchor links is tedious and error-prone. This free generator scans your Markdown headings and builds a nested, linked TOC using GitHub's anchor convention — lowercase, punctuation stripped, spaces to hyphens, duplicate slugs numbered. Choose which heading levels to include, pick bullets or numbers, and it correctly skips headings inside fenced code blocks. Paste the result at the top of your document.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Markdown TOC generator free to use?
Yes — this Markdown TOC generator is completely free with no signup, no limits, and no watermarks. Use it as often as you like.
Why don't my TOC links jump to the right section?
Usually the anchor slug doesn't match: GitHub lowercases the heading, removes punctuation and converts spaces to hyphens — and repeated headings get -1, -2 suffixes. This generator follows those exact rules, so links produced here land correctly on GitHub.
Is my data private?
Completely. Everything you type stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server, so commands, keys and data never leave your machine.
Do these tools touch my servers?
No. OpsForge tools are pure calculators and generators that run in your browser — they never connect to your infrastructure. You copy the result and apply it yourself.
Is the chmod calculator accurate for all systems?
Yes — octal permission notation is a POSIX standard, so the results apply identically on Linux, macOS and BSD.
Will more DevOps tools be added?
Yes — Dockerfile, docker-compose, nginx and CI config generators are on the roadmap. Everything will stay free and client-side.
