Markdown to create pages and table of contents?

Question

I started to use markdown to take notes.

I use marked to view my markdown notes and its beautiful.

But as my notes get longer I find it difficult to find what I want.

I know markdown can create tables, but is it able to create table of contents, that jumps to sections, or define page sections in markdown?

Alternatively, are there markdown readers/editors that could do such things. Search would be good feature to have too.

In short, I want to make it my awesome note taking tool and functions much like writing a book etc.

Answer 1

Here's a useful method. Should produce clickable references in any MarkDown editor.

# Table of contents 1. [Introduction](#introduction) 2. [Some paragraph](#paragraph1)     1. [Sub paragraph](#subparagraph1) 3. [Another paragraph](#paragraph2)  ## This is the introduction <a name="introduction"></a> Some introduction text, formatted in heading 2 style  ## Some paragraph <a name="paragraph1"></a> The first paragraph text  ### Sub paragraph <a name="subparagraph1"></a> This is a sub paragraph, formatted in heading 3 style  ## Another paragraph <a name="paragraph2"></a> The second paragraph text 

Produces:

Table of contents

1. Introduction
2. Some paragraph
   1. Sub paragraph
3. Another paragraph

This is the introduction

Some introduction text, formatted in heading 2 style

Some paragraph

The first paragraph text

Sub paragraph

This is a sub paragraph, formatted in heading 3 style

Another paragraph

The second paragraph text
