Tips and Tricks

Theme

I'm using the Attila theme. It's actively developed, free, and offers quite a few configuration options. I've tried a few others and always end up back here.

Adding a Table of Contents

This is one of my favorites. It makes use of the H1 and H2 tags in your page to create a table of contents at the top of the post.

Add a dynamic Table of Contents to a Ghost blog
Dyanmic table of contents for a Ghost blog using Javascript.

Add an HTML block to the bottom of your post and use this:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha256-3edrmyuQ0w65f8gfBsqowzjJe2iM6n0nKciPUp8y+7E=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script>
    var contentsTitle = "Table of Contents"; // Set your title here, to avoid making a heading for it later
	var ToC = "<h2>"+contentsTitle+"</h2>";
    ToC += "<nav role='navigation' class='table-of-contents'><ul>";
    var first = false;
	$("h2,h3").each(function() {
		var el = $(this);
        if (first === false) {
        	first = true;
            $('<span id="dynamictoc"></span>').insertBefore(el);
        }
        var title = el.text();
		var link = "#" + el.attr("id");
        if (el.is("h2")) {
			ToC += "<li><a href='" + link + "'>" + title + "</a></li>";
        } else if (el.is("h3")) {
        	ToC += "<li style='margin-left:2em'><a href='" + link + "'>" + title + "</a></li>";
        }
	});
	ToC += "</ul></nav>";
    console.log(ToC);
	$("#dynamictoc").html(ToC);
</script>
