HTML5 outliner

h5o is an implementation of the HTML5 outline algorithm in JavaScript. Specifications:

• W3C Recommendation 28 October 2014
• WHATWG Living Standard

If you like this tool, please consider a charitable donation to Ocean Voyages Institute (Project Kaisei).

Usage

npm install h5o (as of 2015, you should not be using any other way of managing your JS dependencies, but you can still download latest release)

• Use the UMD module available in dist/outliner.min.js with a fallback to global HTML5Outline or var HTML5Outline = require('h5o') in node or browserify
• var outline = HTML5Outline(startFrom) (you likely want startFrom to be document.body). Returned value is an outline object, with sections.
• outline.asHTML( [ options | createLinks ]) to get HTML with an ordered list.
  • If options.createLinks (or createLinks) is true, the DOM will be amended with IDs and the list will contain links for navigation.
  • If options.skipToHeader is true, the outline HTML will only include the sub-sections of the first section in the outline (which is usually the body), i.e. it will only contain the sections of the documents, skipping the title of the whole document.
