Auto-Generate a Table of Contents for your posts

For longer documentation, ProDocs includes a TOC generator that automatically creates a full table of contents in the right sidebar, with individual anchor links to each header element in the post. The header range is user-specified, so you can choose whether you want to link to all subsections individually, the main Header 2 elements, or anything in between.

Speed-Up Page Loads with Page Prefetching

Page load times are a key factor in user engagement, and ProDocs utilizes page-prefetching to minimize wait times. When enabled, idle browser time is used to find any links in the browser viewport and pre-load them in the background so that the linked page can be displayed almost immediately when clicked.

Fluid typography provides readable text on any screen

Like all Publii themes, ProDocs includes a variety of typography options such as warnings, buttons, and tip-boxes to clearly-separate your content, and makes use of Fluid Typography to resize text to precisely fit the screen size, making it clear and readable no matter what device is being used.
