Automatically create a table of contents in Pages 2.0 for iOS?

I can't find it using any of the controls, or mentioned in the in-app help, nor anywhere in Pages for iCloud tools or help. I suspect a feature that wasn't quite ready for the release date that will be added at some point. I don't have access to Pages on a Mac right now, but it might be the case that if you can set up a table of contents there it will continue to work in Pages for iOS. As far as I can tell none of the templates on the iPad include a table of contents or they could be used as a starting point.

Yep, I can confirm this works. This is shared link to a skeleton document. Hopefully there is a way to open it in Pages on the iPad, then copy the ToC through to another document of your own.

Accessing the file in Pages on an iPad doesn't seem quite so easy. As long as you have a computer with which you manage the iPad then you could download a copy of the linked document which saves as a .zip file. Connect the iPad to iTunes, locate the Apps tab, scroll down to the file sharing area, select Pages in the left hand column, drag & drop the file into right hand area, open Pages on the iPad, then use the + tool at the top-left of the Pages window to Copy from iTunes.

Offhand I can't think of way that doesn't involve iTunes on a Mac or PC, but I might well have overlooked something.

After much testing I seem to have found a way to email a copy back to myself that I can open in Pages for iOS, (initial attempts were hampered by the outgoing mail server I was using) so if you don't have access to a computer I could send one your way.
