How is the table of contents achieved on support.WP.com?

Create a div in your page.php or post.php and add the CSS like your demo link:

#toc {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #E4F2FD;
    border: 1px solid #D3E7F8;
    border-radius: 11px 11px 11px 11px;
    display: inline;
    float: right;
    font-size: 16px;
    margin: 0 10px 4px 8px;
    max-width: 200px;
    padding: 10px 10px 0;
}

Then you need PHP code inside the div to cateorise the pages, something maybe like this:

<?php wp_list_pages( $args ); ?>

Good luck.

Wow—Fast reply! Thanks so much.

I’m actually hoping get posts instead of pages, using categories as the argument.

I guess there isn’t a <?php wp_list_posts ('my_category'); ?>? If I just construct the content listing using query_post do you think I could still use the same approach (with #toc…etc..)?

Thanks again for the quick, helpful reply.

Found a potentially helpful snippet from CSS-Tricks.

No problem. Hope you get it sorted.
