How to Add a Table of Contents to a Sparkforge Blog Post

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge auto-generates a table of contents from your blog post headings. Three indentation layouts are available, and you can style the TOC with the standard editor toolbar.

Sparkforge can auto-generate a table of contents for any blog post. The TOC pulls from your headings, links each entry to the matching section, and can be styled to match your blog's theme.

Why use a table of contents

  • Easier navigation — readers jump to the section they want.
  • Better SEO — structured headings and anchor links help search engines understand the post.
  • Cleaner long-form content — readers see the full scope of the article without scrolling.

How to add a table of contents

  1. Open Sites > Blog and click Edit Blog Site.
  2. In the blog post editor, locate the Table of Contents icon in the toolbar.
  3. Pick one of the three indentation layouts. Sparkforge generates the TOC by hyperlinking each entry to the matching heading in the post.
  4. Style the TOC using the toolbar — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and font size are all available.
  5. Save and publish.

The TOC stays in sync with your headings. If you rename or reorder a heading, regenerate the TOC to update the links.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the table of contents update automatically when I change headings?
Not in real time. After renaming or reordering headings, regenerate the table of contents through the toolbar icon to refresh the links.
How many heading levels does the TOC support?
The TOC supports the heading hierarchy in your post — typically H2 and H3. The three indentation layouts let you choose how nested headings appear.
Can I style the table of contents to match my blog theme?
Yes. Use the toolbar to apply bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and font size. The TOC inherits your blog's base styles and accepts these overrides on top.
Does the TOC help with SEO?
Yes. Anchor links and structured headings help search engines understand the post's organization, and the in-page jump links improve dwell time on long-form content.
