Can I create a Table of Contents in Steemit.com?

Here's a quick question with an unexpected answer.

Why would anyone need it? For an index or FAQ, for example. For a long guide. And so on.

As an author, you can't create a Table of Contents in steemit.com and probably any of the top general interfaces because internal anchor links are not supported. Here's a post with [more details](https://steempeak.com/hive-144703/@gadrian/why-aren-t-internal-anchor-links-supported-in-steem-interfaces).

**Update:** After the discussion with jarvie and asgarth above, SteemPeak will probably have this fully functional in the next release. :)

I don't understand what you mean by "Table of contents"
Can you give a visual example of what you're asking? 

My question is: why does it have to be steemit.com only what about the other dozens of interfaces for steem?

I kinda hoped you would see this. :)

I'd love to see it implemented in Steempeak! :)

Here's what I mean by TOC:

Table of Contents:
------------------------

1. [Link to section 1](#sec1)
2. [Link to section 2](#sec2)
2.1.  [Link to section 2.1.](#sec2-1)
3. [Link to section 3](#sec3)

## 1. <a name="sec1"></a> Section 1

text here

## 2. <a name="sec2"></a> Section 2

text here

### 2.1. <a name="sec2-1"></a> Subsection 2.1.

text here

## 3. <a name="sec1"></a> Section 3

text here

This should already be doable on steempeak with html. For markdown an extension/plugin is needed and will not be rendered the same on all the frontends.

thanks this helps to explain things better. 

I'm guessing markdown doesn't support this but perhaps HTML can.
However I wouldn't be able to answer this as well as @asgarth, @roadscape and a few others i'm guessing

.....

I haven't really seen this being used on any sites i've been visiting these days ... even really long news articles don't seem to use it. 

Also what's the character limit for a steem post? I know they can be really long but is the limit long enough to have wikipedia length articles for example?
