Floating table of contents for your html reports using knitr

If you love knitr and rstudio and use them to produce long reports, you probably know that you can produce a table of contents in your html (and pdf) documents. In the newer rstudio (Version 0.98.801 or later) you do it by requesting a toc in the doc header, something like this.

output:
html_document:
toc: yes

This post shows a live example of a floating toc and also tells you how easily to produce one automatically by adding a custom css file.

Comments and improvements are welcome!
