toc-org-enable to add TOC headline if missing

[VladimirAlexiev]

Something for toc-org-enable:

    (setq  ; toc-org puts TOC in the org file, so these conflict
       org-export-with-section-numbers nil
       org-export-with-toc nil)
    ;; add TOC headline if missing
    (unless (org-find-exact-headline-in-buffer "Table of Contents")
      (org-first-headline-recenter)
      (beginning-of-line)
      (insert "* Table of Contents                                 :TOC_5:\n\n"))

Why :TOC_5: not :TOC_2: ? See #27

Not sure I understand the problem.

I think the idea is to auto insert a TOC in none exists.

Personally, I would prefer you let the user customize this package behavior, for example with

(advice-add 'toc-org-insert-toc :before #'toc-org-advice)

You define your own toc-org-advice, as the one above

I think the idea is to auto insert a TOC in none exists.

You mean right after opening the file? Or what? I still don't fully understand =)

[csantosb]

Well, when toc-org-insert-toc acts, that's to say, when before-save-hook is called. No need to modify the package to achieve this, in my opinion.

[snosov1]

Yeah, if you want to generate the TOC right after you open the file, you can use find-file-hook. Not sure it's a good idea, though. Some time ago, this was a default behavior of the mode, but I eliminated that.

[csantosb]

Up to the user to decide ... ! I am using this setup, which fits me.

[VladimirAlexiev]

If this mode depends on a :TOC: heading, I think it should ensure (or at least have an option to do it). But I'm also happy to close this. @csantosb thanks, your code is better, esp :noexport: so I can use the "native" toc:t for html export

[snosov1]

Ok, let's close it. Thx!
