TOC Medium: Chrome Extension for Medium TOC Generator

TOC Medium is a unique Chrome extension that adds functionality to the Medium editor. It allows you to generate a Table of Contents for your stories, making it easier for your readers to navigate. The extension links all heading tags to create a comprehensive list. However, it won't auto-update a TOC if changes were made to headings. In such cases, a new TOC must be generated. TOC Medium is an open-source project and users can contribute via its GitHub repository.

This didn't work for four headings. It listed the headings and included numerical links to those headings, but the target for each of those links was several lines under where it should go.

This is not working up to 20+ heading. They should need to modify this limitation.
