# Content menu

You can display the titles of the current page as a content menu.

The simplest content menu can be created like this:

```rst
..  contents::
    :local:
```

Showing only a local content menu of all headlines, excluding the page header:

-   [Topic 1](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/h2document:topic-1)
-   [Topic 2](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/h2document:topic-2)

You can also limit the levels and or give the contents menu a title:

```rst
..  contents:: Table of Contents
    :local:
    :depth: 1
```

To limit the header to a given depth:

**Table of Contents**

-   [Topic 1](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/h2document:topic-1)
-   [Topic 2](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/h2document:topic-2)
