+ Text to find and replace with the Table of Contents. Defaults to `[TOC]`.

- Regardless of whether a `marker` is found in the document, the Table of Contents is
- also available as an attribute (`toc`) of the Markdown class. This allows one to insert
- the Table of Contents elsewhere in their page template. For example:
+* **`title`**:
+ Title to insert in the Table of Contents' `<div>`. Defaults to `None`.
- >>> text = '''
- # Header 1
+* **`anchorlink`**:
+ Set to `True` to cause all headers to link to themselves. Default is `False`.
- ## Header 2

- >>> md = markdown.Markdown(extensions=['markdown.extensions.toc'])
- >>> html = md.convert(text)
- >>> render_some_template(context={'body': html, 'toc': md.toc})
+* **`permalink`**:
+ Set to `True` or a string to generate permanent links at the end of each header.
+ Useful with Sphinx stylesheets.
+
+ When set to `True` the paragraph symbol (&para; -- `&para;`) is used as the link
+ text. When set to a string, the provided string is used as the link text.
+
+* **`baselevel`**:
+ Base level for headers.
+
+ Default: `1`
+
+ The `baselevel` setting allows the header levels to be automatically adjusted to
+ fit within the hierarchy of your html templates. For example, suppose the
+ Markdown text for a page should not contain any headers higher than level 3
+ (`<h3>`). The following will accomplish that:
+
+ >>> text = '''

+ >>> from markdown.extensions.toc import TocExtension
+ >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[TocExtension(baselevel=3)])
+ >>> print html
+ <h3 id="some_header">Some Header</h3>
+ <h4 id="next_level">Next Level</h4>'
* **`slugify`**:
- Callable to generate anchors based on header text. Defaults to a built in
- `slugify` method. The callable must accept two arguments, the first
- contains the text content of the header and the second contains the
- separator. It should then return a string which will be used as the anchor
- text.

-* **`title`**:
- Title to insert in the Table of Contents' `<div>`. Defaults to `None`.
+ Default: `markdown.extensions.headerid.slugify`
-* **`anchorlink`**:
- Setting to `True` will cause the headers link to themselves. Default is
- `False`.
+ In order to use a different algorithm to define the id attributes, define and
+ pass in a callable which takes the following two arguments:
-* **`permalink`**:
- Set to `True` to have this extension generate a Sphinx-style permanent links

+ * `value`: The string to slugify.
+ * `separator`: The Word Separator.
+
+ The callable must return a string appropriate for use in HTML `id` attributes.

+* **`separator`**:
+ Word separator. Character which replaces whitespace in id.
+ Default: `-` \ No newline at end of file
