I'm calling this a bug request, but I'm not sure if it is actually a bug

For Bug Reports

BookStack Version: 18.1
PHP Version: PHP7

Expected Behavior

On the left-hand table of contents, I would expect a standard way that headers stack under each other. Whether it is a static indent corresponding to the number of #s or whether it is indented on the basis of "this section has fewer #s than the last section so it goes in one indent value"

Current Behavior

Presently, I had a section with a 2 # header (i.e. ## Title), followed by a 6 hash header (i.e. ######) in a page with several other headers. However, the table of contents did not accurately reflect the page structure. See image:

As you can see the section titled "Preceding the creation....." should fall below (i.e. indent under) "Documenting Account Information"

I hope that makes sense. I was having trouble explaining this so I am happy to try to clarify if needed.

Thank you!

Hi @Ethanb00,
Sorry it's taken 20 months for a response 😅.

The previous logic for shifting headers (When only smaller ones were used) was off. Now fixed with a test to cover. Will be in the next release.
