Table-of-Contents Generator

Evan, MarkdownPad rocks! Period! One feature I came upon that might be value-added is the ability to generate a table of contents. Perhaps a special menu selection in the UI that evaluates all H1/H2 lines and then builds a "Markdown"-ready document with relative links in that file to another file or collection of files? This would be a very handy addition when generating PDFs and/or HTML documentation. Thanks again for a great product and great value for the money!

Thanks for the feedback! I have this on my list of features for future development.

+1. Auto generation of TOCs would be very very useful

Evan, great product! Congratulations! I tried MDP1 some time ago, but do not use it regularly. Now I was impressed to see how the product evolved.
TOC at the beginning of the doc is the only feature I miss. My vote for this.
Thank you. Regards, Thomas

Please align a content to the editor/preview window, to move fast between the text sections. In a longer text it is very time consuming, to move to the desired text area.

@NoSi Please take a look at "High Performance" rendering mode, you may find improved synchronization between the editor and LivePreview panes: http://markdownpad.com/faq.html#features-renderingmode

@evanw My wish does not belong to the speed of the preview pane. Possibly, I was not enough specific: In a long text it is hard to find the place where I want to add or update something. If there would be a "clickable" table of contents like I have in an exported in a PDF directly in the window, it would be easier to move around.

@NoSi I understand now, thank you. I plan to build a "document outline" feature which should match this request.

Where can I see the progress of your features list ?

Thank for your job,

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but this is something I'd be interested in too. Recently I've been running my larger documents through Pandoc, using the processor for it's markdown, to get a ToC. It would be great if this was doable from within MarkdownPad Pro.

I'd also appreciate a TOC feature. Thanks Andy Fraser for the Pandoc suggestion!
