I seem to be missing the anchor links next to the headings, which allowed me to link to a specific section directly, for instance in this topic, like described in the start post: [image]DiscoTOC - automatic table of contents once all of that is done, it will also add a link next to each button that links directly to that section: [Untitled] Is this me or did this functionality disappear?

Ah, I can explain. The topic you linked has html headings ( , and so on) and initially the TOC component had its own logic for adding heading anchors. However, since then, core added automatic anchors and recently I removed the custom anchor login in the theme component. However, core’s anchor feature only works for Markdown headings (using ###). So that’s the OP here has anchors, but the linked guide doesn’t. We probably should update that guide to use Markdown instead of HTML @JammyDodger.

They should be there? I’m currently on my phone, but I grabbed this one by long-pressing on the gap to the side of the heading: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discotoc-automatic-table-of-contents/111143#how-does-it-work-3

Yes, that topic has those anchor links, but that’s a topic that does not have the DiscoTOC. But this topic has a TOC and does not have anchors: Beginner's guide to using Discourse Themes and this one does not have anchors either Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso) EDIT Hmm…this topic does have anchors: Discourse REST API Documentation

I was clearly not paying enough attention yesterday. :slight_smile: I have now swopped in Markdown headers for the two example topics. :+1:
