It works, but i do not like two things 1. there is only one level of UL. Especialy for headers i would prefer also possibility of nested TOC with H3 intended over H2 etc. 2. Integration with shortcake is fine on first sight, but the problem is, that the TOC is not visible in wysiwyg editor – the widget is there, but it has zero height, so it it almost impossible to work with it

Works straight out of the box and does exactly what it says. All I wanted was a nice simple ToC without unneccesary bloat and this does just that. One thing I would have liked to have seen is that the jump links created were the text of the headers and not just “heading-1”, “heading-2″, etc. e.g. – My first h1 title – should be <h1 id=”my-first-h1-title”>My first h1 title</h1>. Better for SEO and better for screen readers. This is the only reason I didn’t give 5/5. Otherwise stellar plugin!
