Without this feature, I have to link things below the heading and introduce a bit of mess. +1

I also would really like this feature to be implemented. Currently, there is just too much clutter and the outline with the types of names, links and styles I use is almost unusable.

I agree with this request but would like the outline to still render comments. I use comment-only headings to mark scenes in fiction so I can see the overview in the outline (and so I can fold the sections).

Example: ## <!--5. Franz tells how his injury happened.-->

I like having the markup for them in the outline so I know they’re comments, but it’s not crucial — the text is what matters.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a header/subheader with a character that needs to be escaped (example: ## Something \*).
  2. Look at the outline.

Expected result

The name of the header/subheader in the outline should be Example *.

Actual result

The name of the header/subheader in the outline is Example \*.

I wrote a plugin to fix this, maybe use it as a workaround before official implementation:
