Can I access a page's table of contents in a Jekyll layout?

Question

I have a layout in my Jekyll site for regular Markdown page, in which I'd like to place an outline of the page's headings. Can I access these headings in Jekyll or have them rendered in some other way, and if so, how?

In the depths of the answers to a tangentially related StackOverflow question, I found this answer:

https://github.com/allejo/jekyll-toc provides very easy way to add TOC to your jekyll page.

Download the latest toc.html file (caution! should be raw file)

copy this file to _includes folder.

add this line before {{content}}: {% include toc.html html=content %}

There is also jekyll-toc from toshimaru on GitHub. You can configure which level you want to parse, h1 to h6.
