Thanks to your suggestion, I set up Panflute and found an example in the 
documentation for generating a table of contents: 
http://scorreia.com/software/panflute/guide.html#globals-and-backmatter

Unfortunately, I don't know very much about Python, and I ran into some 
trouble modifying the example. I was trying to add markdown to generate an 
internal link.

        item = ListItem(Plain(*elem.content))

        doc.toc.content.append(item)

What I wanted to do is to modify elem.content (the heading that will be 
displayed in the table of contents) by adding markdown so that it becomes 
an internal link.  I tried to treat it is a string, but that didn't work 
because it is a list container.

How can I treat the list container into a string?  I found that if I can 
convert the list container into a string, I can modify it and send it back 
like this:

        item = ListItem(Plain(Str('[Introduction][#introduction]')))
