Accessing table of content tree?

support
1

I would like to render a table of content on a sidebar in a hugo-generated site. But rather than using .TableOfContents, I would like to access the tree directly and iterate on it to render a customized HTML.

Currently I am using the following in my HTML:

{{ .TableOfContents }}

which results in:

<nav id="...">
  <ul>
    <li>...</li>
     ...
     <ul>
     ...
     </ul>
  </ul>
</nav>

But I would like to customize the markup. Concretely, without <nav> and with custom classes for some elements. I think I can achieve this if I can access the struct that holds the tree representation of the table of contents.

Any ideas or alternative suggestions?

Is this going to be addressed or is Hugo’s solution to make a script to hack this functionality in?
