[FR] Table of contents for documents #3521

Open tio-trom opened 1 year ago

tio-trom commented 1 year ago

Description

Would be very useful to have a table of contents based on the Headings of a document. This way you can structure a document better. This can be added to a right pane.

Impact

For long documents it is essential to be able to jump to "chapters", that can be represented with "headings" in markdown.

Additional Context

@tio-trom Do you mean the outline block?

I mean something like Zettlr has: 2023-09-25_03-50

Where the Headings become "chapters" and when you click one it scrolls to it. If you know what I mean.

I believe the outline block is precisely what you're looking for, but it's currently displayed on the page instead of in the sidebar.

Ahhh ok...yes that's what I meant, but positioning it like that makes it less efficient if you want to have a quick access you have to always scroll up. Would make more sense in a separate tab or at least a scroll to top icon somewhere.

It makes a lot more sense to me, from a practical standpoint, to have it in a panel. A block would be useful when exporting to a PDF or similar.

Would make more sense in a separate tab or at least a scroll to top icon somewhere. Sounds reasonable.

I see. @tio-trom @emmggi so do you prefer to display the characters on the panel or the sidebar rather than in the document?

I think it makes a lot more sense. It is helpful to jump to sections in a document. If you put it at the top you always have to scroll up to then jump to certain sections.

@LucasXu0 I'm not sure about the design. I think having a separate panel for outline that can be toggled on/off makes most sense.

I also really need this feature.

@YBYCS , did you mean having the outline floated on a separate panel?

Yes, I believe this contributes to efficiency.
