ToC or Sidebar in GitHub Wiki

Question

How do I create a ToC or a sidebar menu in a GitHub Wiki?

I saw some mentions of it and gollum the backend seems to support it, but how do I do it in a current GitHub project?

It should best be based on the headers I have in the page automatically.

These links all mention it, but do not show how to do it:

• https://gist.github.com/379469 - some JavaScript hack

• https://github.com/blog/774-git-powered-wikis-improved - GitHub mentioning it:

  "GitHub Wikis have a little-documented ability for footers and sidebars, something which some of our git-based Wiki authors are familiar with. The new Wiki editor gives you limited web-based editing of the footers and sidebars you have on your site. "

Answer 1

While your solution works, there's an easier way to do it using GitHub's web interface. You can simply create a page named _Sidebar and/or _Footer.

See detailed instructions in Github Wiki sidebar menu builder with multi-level.

Edit The original article is gone and I can't find it in the cache so I've updated the link.
