Exclude some head levels from TableOfContents

The .TableOfContents is a really great feature. Easy to drop in. I’d like to be able to custom the heading levels though. IOW, I have pages that might go to heading level depth of 4 but I want to restrict the mini toc to display only up through level 3.

I can see in Hugo’s own implementation of http://gohugo.io/tutorials/creating-a-new-theme/ that h3s from the source file in content/tutorials file aren’t appearing in the generated toc. In my default single.html I’ve implemented to TOC as follows.

    <div id="toc" class="large-3 columns {{ if gt (len .TableOfContents) 2500 }}compact{{ end }}">
 On this page:
    {{ .TableOfContents }}
</div>

I’m not parameterizing the toc value in the content files. I want a toc on every page.

“Hugo’s own implementation” is my (not so pretty) CSS:

There are currently no easy way to remove them entirely from the generated output. In a future Hugo that may be fixed.

Thanks Bep. Clever use of css indeed. I’ll look for an enhancement request for TableOfContents on GitHub. For documentation sets, definitely would be useful to configure this more easily.
