Same problem

I have `{{< myshortcode >}}` inside the markdown file where I want the table of contents to appear.  
Inside layouts/shortcodes/myshortcode.html I have `{{ .TableOfContents }}`

But it gives me an error.

Is there an easy way to implement `{{ .TableOfContents }}` inside a markdown file?

In your shortcode definition, try it like this

```nohighlight
{{ .Page.TableOfContents }}

```

Hello @ [omrllm](https://discourse.gohugo.io/u/omrllm), can you explain how you implemented your table of contents?  
Does your TOC outputs certain tags from articles.md frontmatter?  
Can you show us some samples?  
Thank you.
