Filter List Items?

  • Would it be possible to filter the list item text? I have a client that would like to be able to replace list item text with custom text. I can handle the customizations needed to make this happen. I just need a filter on each list item string to make it work. So possibly add a filter in the “extract_headings” function? The Easy Table of Contents plugin refers to this as “alttext” and adds a meta box on the post editor. That plugin does several things I don’t care for and tends to increase Google’s CLS score by a lot so I’d rather not use it but the filter/replace feature is something I need. Just a simple apply_filters on the text would be great! Thanks for an awesome plugin!

    I’d like to suggest the following changes:

    original line: 1232
    $html .= strip_tags($matches[$i][0]) . '</a>';

    new line: 1232
    $html .= apply_filters('toc_item_text', strip_tags($matches[$i][0])) . '</a>';

    original line: 1397
    $items .= strip_tags($matches[$i][0]) . '</a></li>';

    new line: 1397
    $items .= apply_filters('toc_item_text', strip_tags($matches[$i][0])) . '</a></li>';

    These two simple changes would accomplish exactly what I need. I can modify the plugin but I hate to do so and risk losing my modifications if it’s every updated from the repository. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Unfortunately the 2106 release did not include any additional filters. I guess I’ll have to modify the plugin to add this simple change. Maybe next time.
