mdbook-toc 0.15.3, authored by Jan-Erik Rediger, is a lightweight preprocessor expressly built for the Rust-based mdBook documentation generator; its single purpose is to inject an inline, fully-hyperlinked Table of Contents into any chapter of a markdown source book without altering the original files. Once installed, the utility is invoked automatically during the mdBook build pipeline, scanning each `.md` file for the special marker `` and replacing it with a nested list of all downstream headings found in that chapter. The resulting TOC respects the book’s heading hierarchy, adapts to any theme, and remains clickable in both the rendered HTML and the offline print output, giving readers an at-a-glance roadmap and one-click navigation. Typical use cases include API manuals, university lecture notes, internal wikis, and open-source project handbooks—any long-form documentation whose authors want to spare themselves the tedium of hand-crafting or manually updating section lists. Because the preprocessor runs headlessly on CI servers, teams can regenerate fresh TOCs on every commit, ensuring accuracy across collaborative workflows. Two public versions have been released to date, with 0.15.3 being the current stable increment, delivered under an open-source license and installable via Cargo in seconds. The tool belongs to the Developer Documentation & Static Site Generator category on Windows, macOS, and Linux alike, and integrates seamlessly with additional mdBook plugins such as link-checkers and syntax highlighters. mdbook-toc is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
