CLUSTER CONTENTS-MARKDOWN-GENERATES · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-12-15
Markdown TOC generation tools
This cluster consists of command-line utilities and a Vim plugin for generating, inserting, or updating tables of contents in Markdown files, often with Git awareness or tag-file generation. Dated entries span from 2014 to 2025, with mostly one entry per year, showing sporadic but consistent interest rather than any clear accelerating trend. Traction leaders by activity signal are dumber, doctoc, and github-markdown-toc, all of which currently show 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
