Description Thomas.Meschede 2017-02-14 15:26:34 UTC
I would be appreciated, if the kate symbol viewer would support markdown files :)

for example listing all headers, and all figures as an "outline", similar to the navigation panel of word or libreoffice:

Should someone not be afraid to build a plugin from source, he my give this fork a try

My issue has been marked as a duplicate ^ and I would like to point out that there's a difference to this issue here. However, this could be considered a sub-task or an issue that first requires this issue here to be implemented: I was explicitly asking for TOCs for plain text files without markdown syntax:

you could just specify the syntax that denominates a header (or use the default) and it would not display the text any differently than the rest of the plain text (for example a .txt file): no colors and no larger font-sizes, the only difference is that you have a TOC by which you can jump within and structure your text document.

Please implement this once it works for markdown, it could be disabled by default (have no header-denominator set).

Other than that I think this issue is important and if somebody looks for an alternative QOwnNotes does have TOCs. Please answer this question once it's implemented: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/702033/how-to-show-a-table-of-content-toc-for-a-text-document-in-kdes-kate

This can be done via the plugin, but it is unlikely any of the core devs will do it anytime soon. If you want it early, maybe give it a try yourself.

See my comment #1 above. It has some plain text support and is still working here.

If somebody wants to have that, please provide a patch.

I don't see that we have time nor interest to implement that ourselves, please scratch you own itch, thanks.
