Pain point: When working on very large documents where you have multiple levels, and multiple nested blocks, navigating the blocks can become difficult or troublesome and time consuming.
Solution: Similar to what Obsidian MD offers, provide a view for the right sidebar that presents a hierarchy of the document outline, or simply put the Table of Contents, where the user can click on a headline and it takes you to that entry in the main document view.
Maybe I’m missing something, but how do people that don’t want this feature navigate within large documents? I have documents with 50 “A4 pages” or more, and really have no feeling of where I am in the document or what else is in the document.
Having to add a “table of contents” manually feels super counter-intuitive and certainly does not work for large documents.
Absolutely agree. I’m trying to use LogSeq with Obsidian but the different handling/rendering of headers is making it difficult. If I don’t indent the bullet points in Obsidian then I can’t collapse the header in LogSeq. If I indent the bullets in LogSeq so the header is collapsible then it renders the bullets incorrectly in Obsidian (it seems to think they are code in this case).
Part of the problem is Obisidian treats anything with a tab indentation as a source block, there’s a fix you can make in logseq to change how indentation behaves by swapping it from tabs to number of spaces. Drop this into your config.edn, and then try creating a new document with indented bullet-points and you should see them render correctly in Obsidian.
I think the possibility of collapsing all the blocks with a single click or a keyboard stroke would be a good solution, the document would become an outline of itself.
Chanced upon this FR. I’ve built a TOC plugin in the marketplace that can be opened in the right sidebar to facilitate easy navigation. Can take a look!
Maybe I am missing something. But in a large page, when you click outside the content and the CMD-UP a few time all blocks are folded till the main level, effectively the H1 level.
When I CMD-DOWN 1 time it opens the H1/H2 level.
And sometimes I even go further down but most of the time from this level I enter a Block by hitting the bullet and I can edit (also the sub-bullets for that H3 level).
And using the breadcrumbs at the top of the page I can quickly see where I am and navigate to a higher level … to deep dive in another place in the document.
So I guess an outline overview is already in the document.
