Adding TOC anchor links to Markdown/TXT output

[maf_jclark]

I'm converting an ePub book to txt/markdown - then I'm using a markdown converter to output HTML. I'm wondering how to enable links from the table of contents to the heading in the HTML file.

I see that the markdown converter uses the 'toc' extension, and the 'toc' extension allows an option for 'anchorlink' : True. See the extension's usage page for details.

I'd like to know how to enable this for my ePub to markdown conversion. Is it possible without recompiling Calibre?

Thanks,
Jay

I also tried to put something in the toc.py config (?) file in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\calibre\conversi on\toc.py

This is what I put in that file.

{
  'anchorlink' : True,
}

That didn't work...
