Dark Mode

Your themes, in the dark

All v3 themes now include a polished dark mode variant. Activate it in one click.

New in v3

One Color. Whole TOC Transformed.

Previous versions required setting a separate color for every element: hover states, numbering, borders, badges, one by one. v3 changes that completely.

The new Color Palette system uses a small set of semantic colors that cascade intelligently across your entire TOC. Set your website's accent color once, and every theme-specific detail adapts automatically. And every color you define in the palette becomes a reusable swatch, available across all settings to override any specific element if needed.

Just set your Accent color

The Accent color is the single most impactful setting in Joli TOC. Update it to match your brand and watch your entire table of contents adapt: numbering badges, hover colors, active indicators, underlines, and more.

Before v3

Heading hover color
Numbering color
Badge background
Border accent
...

Many fields to update manually

With v3

Accent Color

All related elements update automatically. One field. Done.

The full palette, for when you want more control

The 3 base colors handle 90% of use cases out of the box. Extended and Extra colors are there when you want to go further.

Every color you define automatically appears as a swatch throughout the settings panel, so you can apply any palette color to any specific element with a single click.

Admin Screenshot

Keep it tidy

Show readers just enough to get them started

Long TOCs can overwhelm before the reader even begins. Partial fold shows only the first few headings upfront, with a simple button to expand the rest.

A lighter first impression keeps readers engaged rather than intimidated.

Always accessible

Guide readers with a floating TOC widget

Never let your readers lose their place with the floating TOC.


  • Stays visible at the top or bottom of the screen while scrolling.
  • Highlights the current section automatically.
  • Optional navigation buttons.

Joli Table Of Contents — Collapsible Headings

New in v3

Let readers focus with collapsible headings

Give your audience control over the depth of detail they see. With collapsible headings, sub-sections fold away until the reader is ready, reducing visual noise and making long TOCs feel much more manageable.


  • Sub-headings collapse with a smooth animation.
  • Readers expand only the sections they care about.
  • Works seamlessly with Dynamic Unfold for hands-free navigation.
  • Fully compatible with all v3 themes.
Joli Table Of Contents — Regional Numbering

New in v3

Number your TOC your way, in any language

  • Regional numbering: Arabic, Persian, Devanagari, Thai, and more.
  • Badge background color and text color fully customizable.
  • Three badge style variants: Soft, Solid, and Outline.
  • Works seamlessly with RTL languages.
Joli Table Of Contents — Badge Styles
Joli Table Of Contents — Top-level Heading Customization

New in v3

A TOC that's easier to read at a glance

When everything looks the same, nothing stands out. Style your top-level headings independently so the structure of your content is immediately clear, even before a reader clicks a single link.


  • Independent font size, weight, and color for top-level headings.
  • Add a separator line between top-level entries.
  • Hide top-level numbering.

New in v3

Introducing Timeline TOC

A revolutionary new way to visualize your content. Markers are placed proportionally based on actual content length, so readers instantly understand how much is ahead before clicking a single link.

Proportional spacing

Longer sections take up more space on the timeline, giving readers an honest preview of content density.

Live progress indicator

The active marker tracks scroll position in real time, so readers always know exactly where they are.

Fully themeable

Works with all v3 themes. Customizable line, marker, and accent colors to match your brand.
