How to Create a Table of Contents in Blogger Posts

How to Create a Table of Contents in Blogger Posts - Table of Contents is a list consisting of points or parts of the subject contained in an article. We can use the Table of Contents as a breakdown of the contents of the article in the form of a link so that it will make it easier for the reader to choose what part of the subject they will read. We often encounter this Table of Contents on the Wikipedia, Encyclopedia, and also PDF files from E-Book which are usually placed after the preface or the main idea of an article.

#toc_list{font-weight:700;cursor:pointer;margin:10px 0}
#toc_list:focus,#toc li:focus,.back_tocontent:focus{outline:none}
#toc_list svg{vertical-align:middle}
#toc li{background:transparent;cursor:pointer;margin:.2em 0 .2em 1em}
#toc ol li:before{left:-2em}
#toc li a{color:#222}
#toc li a:hover{color:#1e90ff}
#toc{display:grid}
.back_tocontent{display:inline-block;cursor:pointer;text-align:right;float:right;margin:15px auto;background:#00cec9;color:#fff;font-size:11px;padding:2px 12px;border-radius:99em;transition:all .3s}

<script type='text/javascript'>        
//<![CDATA[        
$(document).ready(function(){$(".post-body a").on("click",function(o){if(""!==this.hash){o.preventDefault();var t=this.hash;$("html, body").animate({scrollTop:$(t).offset().top},600,function(){window.location.hash=t})}})});
//]]>        
</script>

Click the Save theme button

Next to the posting section, create a post in the blogger post editor. Add the code below on the HTML tab (not Compose).

<div id="light-toc">
<div id="toc_list" onclick="if (document.getElementById('toc').style.display === 'none') { document.getElementById('toc').style.display = 'block'; } else { document.getElementById('toc').style.display = 'none'; }" role="button" tabindex="0">
Contents <svg width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path fill="#000000" d="M12,18.17L8.83,15L7.42,16.41L12,21L16.59,16.41L15.17,15M12,5.83L15.17,9L16.58,7.59L12,3L7.41,7.59L8.83,9L12,5.83Z" /></svg></div>
<div id="toc">
<ol>
<li><a href="#toc_1" title="Subheading 1">Subheading section 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#toc_2" title="Subheading 2">Subheading section 2</a></li>

<li><a href="#toc_3" title="Subheading 3">Subheading section 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#toc_4" title="Subheading 4">Subheading section 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#toc_5" title="Subheading 5">Subheading section 5</a></li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>

Edit writing marked with your own writing. Then add id="toc_1" in each heading according to the ID in the code above. For example like this
