Although toc has already been supported, I really hope there is a floating toc, which will facilitate the search and switch of notes.

Thanks for the plugin. I've reverted back to using v1.02, since the font-family won't load for some reason. Also for people unfamiliar with CSS. The font size is followed by a unit, 1.2em for example. Looking forward in seeing more options.

I modified the CSS found here and created another dark mode version, I tried to create a tree-list type navigation with a minimal look. Instructions: add [toc] in your Joplin document copy the CSS into userstyle.css found under Options > Appearance close all instances of Joplin and relaunch & m…

Awesome! Thanks for this :smiley:

Yes! Thanks to everyone for this. Seeing what can be done here with Joplin and some CSS, I'm super sad that I'm so bloody horrible at it. Well, anything front end anyways. But my back end brain has been grinding on this for about 2 months now, trying to figure how I can get this round peg into m…
