No Wiki Table of Contents in Moodle 3.9 and 3.10

No Wiki Table of Contents in Moodle 3.9 and 3.10

Hi all,

Just wondered if I'm the only one running into this issue:

When I add headers in a Wiki page, I expect to get an automatically generated Table of contents at the top of the page with links to the segments. I formatted the headers using Atto, which results in h3, h4 and h5 tags and also manually corrected those to h1, h2, and h3, but to no avail.

Is this a bug, a feature or has this been completely removed from the mod_wiki plugin? 

I've tested this on qa.moodledemo.net and school.moodledemo.net, with the same result as in my production Moodle instance.

Hello Joost. I remember you mentioning this during the Learn Moodle MOOC and I tried and I did get a TOC in a wiki (I just used the Atto headers) Can you share a screenshot of how it doesn't work for you? I am wondering if my definition of TOC is not the same as yours or if there is an issue somewhere else...

Hi Mary,

I think Im getting closer to what's going on. I added 3 Wiki instances as follows

In Safari, collab Wiki, forced HTML editor and added headers ==> I get a ToC


In Safari, collab Wiki, pick your own editor, and added headers ==> I get a ToC

In Chrome, collab Wiki, forced HTML editor, and added headers ==> I don't get a ToC


The cause may be found in the following: 

In Chrome, the Header tags also get a style attribute, whereas in Safari, they don't. 

In Chrome:

<h3 style="text-align:left;">Header text</h3>

In Safari:

<h3>Header text</h3>
