TOC Depth Extension For Quarto

A Quarto extension that provides fine-grained control over table of contents depth at the header level.

Installation

quarto add mcanouil/quarto-toc-depth

This will install the extension under the _extensions subdirectory. If you're using version control, you will want to check in this directory.

Usage

Add the filter to your document's YAML header:

filters:

The TOC depth is relative to the section where it is defined.

# Section A {toc-depth=0}
