Passing a nesting_level range instead of integer

[olivierlacan]

I have an admittedly edgy case. I generate all of http://keepachangelog.com 's index.html from its GitHub-hosted README.md

This means I'd like to exclude the h1 and h2 from the TOC.

Would you mind if I added an option to pass a nesting_range to HTML_TOC as an alternative to the existing nesting_level?

Hi!

Thanks for the proposal! Yes, it seems to be a pretty good idea, it's pretty common to have an h1 as the page's title so you don't need it inside the table of contents.

You can ask for help if you struggle with the C code! :-)

Thanks for the offer to help. I delved into the code yesterday a bit and I'll admit I couldn't figure out how to store a range in C. So I switched to the idea of storing some sort of offset integer instead and skip outputting heading levels below that offset.

That's when I noticed level_offset and wondered if it had anything to do with that but it doesn't seem so. At least it's not exposed externally it seems.

Hi @olivierlacan,

I'm sorry this got out of my radar ; I'm still interested in implementing this feature. Do you want to give it a try or you gave up (I would understand actually 😅 ) ?

Any news on this? This seems like a neat feature :) Thanks!
