Limitations

• Due to the lazy-rendering strategy of built-in editor (Only text showed in the current window is rendered. If scrolling too fast, you will see some text is not ready to be rendered and the editor stutters), sometimes you can't jump to the place you want by one click in edit mode，especially when the note is opened for the first time since you open obsidian app. Outline core plugin has the same issue. Solution: Just click again.

• Cross-level is not supported, which means you can use h1->h2->h3，but not h1->h3->h4, while h3 and h4 will be treated as h2 and h3.

• Can't drag heading into a leaf heading

• Some extented grammars in obsidian are not supported by default. But we can extend the markdown-parser to fix it! If you believe any grammar is frequently used and should be implemented, create an issue to discuss about it.

Usage

Open command panel and input Quiet Outline ，then press Enter .

For markdown-rendering, open Markdown Render option in setting panel.
