TOC Fix Verification: What the Body Should Look Like

Verification post for the Sanity TOC fix — the body should start with the intro paragraph, with no orphaned link list above it.

This is a verification post for the Sanity TOC fix. If the fix is working, this paragraph is the very first thing in the body — no bullet list of links above it.

The Symptom Ali Reported

Published posts opened with a bare list of links, sitting above the intro with no heading over it.

01. The Orphaned List

The table of contents was inserted directly under the H1. The H1 then got stripped into the CMS title field, leaving the list stranded at the top.

What Was Actually Happening

Our TOC links to #slug fragments. In a headless CMS the customer's own renderer assigns heading ids, so those fragments had nothing to resolve against.

How to Read This Post

Check three things: the body starts with the intro paragraph, there is no link list above it, and the headings below are intact and in order.

FAQs

Does this change existing posts? No — only new publishes.
