In the same note, I am able to link all the headers to the TOC section, just like a wiki.(Check)
I can also make a new note each for ‘1. Definitions’, ‘2. Properties’, etc. and link the title back to the original TOC note. (Check)
Question: Now, can I link the subheaders (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5) created in the new note ‘1.Definitions’ back to the original note?
Basically - I am looking for a way to create chapters in their own note, and view their contents in a super TOC. Is this already possible? or perhaps there are other workflows to workaround?
This sort of TOC can also be very handy to view as a mind map/tree.
I’m new enough at this that I don’t know if this adds to the discussion or not, but I’m creating a manual TOC for a book synopsis using the technique specified by Ryan:
Is there a way to suppress the page name in the link so I can make the TOC entry itself the button? Or a markup symbol which means “the current page”, which would speed things up?
I’m not sure I’m following you, sorry. You’re using a link alias via | already, but would writing [[Bk - Make Time - How to Focus on What Matters Every Day#Make Time Summary|Make Time Summary]] suffice? It should render as “Make Time Summary” with a link to that heading.
Alternatively, if those are headings in the current note, you can actually just write [[#Make Time Summary]] and it should work.
Edit: also, don’t forget about the Outline plugin, which renders a live linked list of headings in the current note automatically!
I missed this possibility because I relied on the Obsidian Help / How To / “## Internal Links” instructions. An example of a truly “internal” link to the following “###Following Links” paragraph would have been useful. Perhaps a clear distinction between internal to the database and internal to the page…?
