Trying to index a numbered list with header styles

Question

I have a list of items I'm documenting and I want to use H2-H4 to make it readable to users. I want a table of contents though so I have: 1

Item 1 a

detail 1 b

detail 2 c

detail 3 2

Item 1 a

detail 1 b

detail 2 But, if I have a numbered list such as the "Item 1" I can't put a header style on it, it's gray'd out. If I make it:

Item 1 1

detail 1 2

detail 2 3

detail 3

Item 1 1

detail 1 2

detail 2 then I can put a header style on Item 1 and Item 2, But our style is the first.

Yes, but the ToC macro won't let you add headings to lists. Robert is encountering the same issue that I am. He's trying to create a workaround. What customization would allow adding headings to lists or adding parts of a list to a ToC. I'm not seeing it.

Hi @Robert Harris,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I would recommend you to use table of contents macro instead of create it manually. It will generate your TOC automatically based on the contents of the page and there are a lot of customizations available.
