Description

The automatic excerpts are terrible for the archive page. I suggest using the TOC without links since it's so easy.
See PR #219

Research direction

Start by reviewing the archive-page excerpt behavior and the referenced PR #219, then trace where the archive content and table of contents are assembled. Done means archive excerpts use the table of contents without links and the resulting archive pages are verified.
