The Insta-Toc plugin for Obsidian offers a dynamic way to generate and maintain tables of contents (TOCs) in real-time. Whether you're managing lengthy notes or organizing content-heavy documents, this plugin ensures your TOC stays updated as you edit your notes. It supports a variety of heading formats, including Markdown links, WikiLinks, HTML, and tags, making it versatile for diverse workflows. Customization options allow you to tailor TOCs to your style, with settings for bullet types, indentation, and special character handling. For users who want a sleek, organized overview of their notes without manual adjustments, Insta-Toc is a game-changer. Plus, its folding capabilities add an extra layer of functionality for better navigation within your notes. If you frequently deal with large or complex notes, this plugin can help keep everything structured and accessible.

The Outline++ plugin for Obsidian enhances the note-taking experience by offering an improved option for rendering markdown content. Initially developed to address a bug in Obsidian's built-in outline view, this plugin now provides users with a more streamlined and reliable way to generate a table of contents (TOC) for their headings. While the plugin is still awaiting community approval, it can be accessed through BRAT for beta users. This tool is especially useful for those who want better control over how their markdown documents are structured and navigated in Obsidian.

The Create List of Notes plugin quickly gathers and displays notes from the parent folder of your current note, making it easier to organize related material in one place. It automatically generates a bulleted list at the cursor’s location, allowing you to build a kind of mini-table of contents without manually hunting for file names. You can choose to include only certain items—for instance, folder notes or notes with a particular date format—and specify whether the list should be sorted in ascending or descending order. This flexibility offers an efficient way to maintain an overview of projects, subjects, or any collection of documents. By consolidating your notes into a tidy, linked list, the plugin saves time and provides a clear structure for anyone looking to reference multiple files together.
