+Table of Contents
+=================
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+Adds a Table of Contents to a Markdown document.
+
+This extension is included with the Markdown library since version 2.0.
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+Place a marker in the document where you would like the table of contents to
+appear. Then, a nested list of all the headers in the document will replace the
+marker. The marker defaults to ``[TOC]`` so the following document:
+
+ [TOC]
+
+ # Header 1
+
+ ## Header 2
+
+would generate the following output:
+
+ <div class="toc">
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="#header-1">Header 1</a></li>
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="#header-2">Header 2</a></li>
+ </ul>
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <h1 id="header-1">Header 1</h1>
+ <h1 id="header-2">Header 2</h1>
+
+Configuration Options
+---------------------
+
+The following options are provided to configure the output:
+
+* **marker**: Text to find and replace with the Table of Contents. Defaults
+ to ``[TOC]``.
+* **slugify**: Callable to generate anchors based on header text. Defaults to a
+ built in ``slugify`` method. The callable must accept one argument which
+ contains the text content of the header and return a string which will be
+ used as the anchor text.
+* **title**: Title to insert in TOC ``<div>``. Defaults to ``None``.
+* **anchorlink**: Set to ``True`` to have the headers link to themselves.
+ Default is ``False``.
