When you want to put text in between ## headings, I have found that it is so far not possible to do so. You either need to create a new ## BLANK heading or just live with it.
I think Obsidian would benefit from having a way to close off headings indefinetly. For example, by putting the horizontal marking.
Now all new text just gets hoarded into the previous heading. I propose a ‘stop’ for headings.
I have just decided to start using Obsidian but this has been a mayor obstacle already. PLEASE
This FR already exists. Syntax to delineate end of inner heading section, thus defaulting to next highest
And these ones might be somewhat related with possible workarounds in the discussions:
Use case or problem
I heavily use internal linking and embedding in my notes. However, not all of the things I’m linking to fit neatly into a hierarchy, where I can just embed/link a single block or heading. Thus, I find myself having to add links to multiple sequential headings or blocks in the same document. Instead of having to add this list of links, it would be nice to be able link to a range or headings or blocks in another document.
Proposed solution
Sample Doc A:
filename: Genesis 001.…
I moved a couple of posts into this new thread because they propose a very general way of defining ranges. General is nice but sometimes complex if the problem at hand is narrow.
So I’m going to move yours to help for now. You can check out those other discussions. Otherwise I encourage you to give some examples of what you’re trying to do, and why it’s a major obstacle for your specific workflow, because someone might have a good suggestion or workaround for you.
Some other feature requests to read:
Heading fold should stop at horizontal rule
Currently heading fold will fold until the next heading with the same level.
However when a page has a horizontal rule ---, it’s a clear indication that this is a logical break between text, therefore fold should stop at this line. Not every time I use a --- the following section need to have a header with the same level as the previous headers.
# H1
Fold with H1
## H2
Fold with H1
---
## Another H2
This should not be folded with H1 above.

Use case or problem
I use headings to format and organize my notes. H1 is always the title. Most notes go as deep as H3, but some all the way to H6. Sometimes it would be good to see an overview of all my headers, but the there is too much text in the way. However, if I fold a heading all it’s subheadings go with it.
For example, in current state:
H1
text text
H2
text text
H3
text text
H3
text text
H2
text text
Folding the first H2 shows:
H1
text text
>H2
H2

Problem
Currently, you can only fold/unfold headers and lists.
In my workflow, folding headers and lists serve different purposes.
I fold headers to eliminate visual clutter and narrow my focus.
With lists, however, they have a meaningful structure; some lists are folded and others unfolded. I find folding all lists not useful at all. Even if I were to fold all lists, I’d want to fold only the topmost level, not all levels.
Possible solution
Add options to separately fold/unfold headers…
Use case or problem
Callouts are a great feature because they enable us to highlight a section or even add collapsible detail without collapsing the text below (as one would with a subheading - see my previous request about foldable transclusions below).
I often use the callouts to draw attention to important pieces of information or summaries within a longer note, and sometimes I would like to link to them from within the note or another note (as one would with a heading).
Proposed solution
