 ## Make a table of contents
 
-Aside from compiling your markdown files, markdown-include can also build your table of contents.  This works by evaluating the heading tags inside of your files.  Since markdown works on using `#` for headings, this makes it easy to assemble table of contents from them.  The more `#` you have in front of your headings (up to 6) will decide how the table of contents is built.  Use one `#` and it's a top level navigation item... Use two `#` and it would be underneath the previous navigation item.

 For each heading that you would like to be included in a table of contents just add ` !heading` to the end of it.
