Vscode-markdown: False positive TOC detection

[leesoh]

What is the problem?

When editing a page with a top-level title of #Foo, adding a link to a bulleted list later in the
document of Foo will cause that list to become a table of contents.

How can I disable this?

How can I reproduce it?

See above.

Is there any error message in the console?

No

This should be robustly fixed with the dev build.

List not in the form of [...](#...) will never be recognized as TOC starting from this build.

[leesoh]

Thank you very much!

Is there a configuration to depth limit of TOC?
I don't mind the auto-update, as long as it stops at depth=3 (###).

[yzhang-gh]

You can control it with settings. (Workspace level is also supported)

@yzhang-gh What if I need a list of internal links?

For example, I'm creating a document that has a section on goals, and a section on projects.

Each subsection in goals has a list of projects which relate to that goal. If I add more than three (four?) projects to the list it turns into a TOC. How can I prevent this? (I do want a TOC in the document, and have placed it at the beginning)

[yzhang-gh]

Can you provide a minimal example (code snippet)?

[DavidWells]

How do you turn this off? What is the setting name?

[yzhang-gh]

Please see here for more information about settings.

Same problem here.
is it possible to have an option to just turn off TOC detection ?
I've my own extension to generate TOC (because I customize it a little).

[yzhang-gh]

Currently, we don't have such an option. I have opened a new issue for it.

If you have a little time and don't mind making a PR, here is the code pointer

We have a similar option (as shown below), just copy it
