If you're having to create a TOC *inside* a tiddler, then you're probably not following the philosophy of tiddlers <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Philosophy%20of%20Tiddlers>. Yes, TiddlyWiki has a philosophy.
The idea in TW is that each tiddler contains the smallest meaningful text. Sometimes what is meaningful is a paragraph. Sometimes it's a word. Sometimes it's an article. Once you have all these tiddlers, you can then use tools like the TOC macro or the List Widget to create an index into them. If they're connected by a common tag, then you can also easily re-arrange them. You can slice them and dice them, compare them and share them. Having said all that, there's a bug in TW that *may* allow you to index inside a tiddler, if you want more things in your TW than are dreamt of in your *philosophy* <http://www.shakespeare-online.com/quickquotes/quickquotehamletdreamt.html>. See: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tiddlywiki/ikjxwjllFtE/discussion I notice the very last link in the thread leads to a 404 error, but there may be other links in the discussion that you can use.
