Optional automatic section numbering would help reading: otherwise, a reader (like me) gets lost in the structure of a long page.

I guess it is implementable with complex CSS... but one has first to compose this CSS in any case. So, this wish still has a todo status. --Ivan Z.

And another aspect why this is related to ikiwiki, not just authoring a CSS, is that the style of the numbers (genereated by CSS probably) should match the style of the numbers in ikiwiki's [[plugins/toc]]. --Ivan Z.

<https://codepen.io/X-Raym/pen/dBprG> - a known CSS technique.  works well.  adapted here due to that numbering starting from h2, where ikiwiki (incorrectly) starts headings from h1 <http://libre-riscv.org/local.css> --lkcl

> Related: [[todo/toc-with-human-readable-anchors]]. That said, I'm not sure this is something that ikiwiki should handle at all. As you said, this can be generated by CSS... Maybe an option for the `toc` plugin would be necessary to *change* the style of the numbering, but I doubt it's worth the effort... In other words, there is already some numbering in the table of contents, the CSS should just match it... unless I'm missing something? -- [[anarcat]]
