Table of contents

When editing there's the TOC panel, what I was hoping for was the ability to put a table of contents in when exporting to PDF / LaTex.

Is this possible? Is it on the backlog?

   PDF/LaTeX already includes support for including a TOC. The memoir class includes it by default. Otherwise there is plenty of information on the internet about how to customize LaTeX to do exactly what you want.

   For an example, the MMD User's Guide shows what it looks like:

   The TOC panel is simply a navigational tool while editing and is unrelated to the output document.

   I meant a way to put it into the markdown so the export generates it, I'm looking to have a workflow where I don't have to go in and edit the output by hand.

   You don't have to do it by hand. LaTeX is capable of generating TOCs on it's own (and much more).

   If you're using the MultiMarkdown LaTeX Support files and the memoir variant, it's all automatic. Otherwise there is tons of information about LaTeX on the internet to configure things for your specific workflow.
