Zola: Render full section toc in page context

[veldsla]

Absolute Zola beginner here.
In version 0.5 I used the following loop to generate a full TOC for the entire section on every page:

{% set section = get_section(path="docs/_index.md") %}
{% for p in section.pages %}
<div class="bd-toc-item">
    <a class="bd-toc-link" href="{{ p.permalink }}">{{ p.title }}</a>
    <ul>
        {% for s in p.toc %}
        <li class="bd-sidenav">
            <a href="{{ s.permalink }}">{{ s.title }}</a>
        </li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
</div>
{% endfor %}

But in 0.6+ only the toc for the current page is available as a global variable. Is there a way to generate the full table of contents in a page?

Is there a way to generate the full table of contents in a page?

No. I didn't think anyone would use the toc like that - I looked at quite a few sites/templates from various SSG before making the change but never saw a ToC outside of the page itself.

Ok no problem, I'm just starting anyway. I only have a few pages with a few items each so in my case it fit nicely. I'll rethink the design.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hmm I just realised when trying to update one of my site from Gutenberg to Zola that I was using almost exactly the sample you have in the issue 🤦‍♂ : the side bar of https://tera.netlify.com/docs/installation/ is made like that. I should have checked my own sites 🤦‍♂
That's a totally valid usecase, I assume yours is similar - I'll think about it.

I'm looking for this as well. In my case I get to page variables from a global context via get_taxonomy. I'd like to be able to present the subheadings at this level. Something like get_toc(page) would do the trick for me, but I don't know much about the constraints on the API design here.

(I'm attempting to rewrite https://magnushoff.com/articles/asmtut/ with Zola, dynamically populating the list from posts tagged #asmtut rather than manually updating the overview page)

FYI this is done and will be in 0.10
