Fast Jump Table of Contents

What the plugin does

Fast Jump Table of Contents:

• scans the content for <h2> headings
• generates a table of contents with anchor links
• automatically adds missing id attributes to H2 headings
• preserves existing heading attributes (class, style, etc.)
• respects existing id values and never overwrites them

The table of contents can be placed anywhere in the content using a shortcode.

Shortcode usage

[fast_jump]

The shortcode outputs only the table of contents.

How heading IDs are handled

If an H2 heading does not have an id, the plugin assigns one automatically in a sequential format:

h2-1
h2-2
h2-3

If an H2 already contains an id, it is left untouched.

No database changes are made; IDs are injected at render time.

Editor compatibility

• Gutenberg (Block Editor)
• Classic Editor
• Mixed HTML content

The plugin works purely on rendered content and does not depend on editor-specific metadata.

Performance and safety

• No admin pages
• No settings UI
• No database writes
• No background processes
• No cron jobs

All processing happens only when H2 headings are present in the content.

Typical use cases

• Long-form blog posts
• Tutorials and documentation
• Knowledge base articles
• SEO-optimized content with clear structure
