Outline view plugin or official support

Features & ideas
1

Hi there,

I have used a note editor before called Collate. I actually bought a lifetime licence for it, and I enjoyed using it while I had it. Unfortunately, the author stopped supporting the project.

One of the features I really liked was the outline mode.

Is it possible to develop a plugin to render such a view? The format of the outline in markdown is the following structure

Hi viperfx,

Happy to help you make a plugin.
I believe yes, you can do that by a plugin.
The Markdown engine is based on Remark.
It has a similar plugin for supporting frontmatter: https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-frontmatter
You could hack it.
Hope that helps.
