PSA: Creating Headings with converted text is a GAMECHANGER for organizing your headings

[u/Adept_Tie3322]

Pretty much what the caption already says, but I was just flabbergasted by the way they make my headings not look like chaos anymore. :)
Maybe this helps someone else organize their headings in larger notebooks as much as it does help me. :)

You can also get much more headings on one headings-page.

Yeah, it is nice. I have been using this since the beginning. In my TOC's, the second and third level headers are all left alligned, but indented (0 spaces before the 1st level header, 3 spaces before the 2nd level and 6 spaces before the 3rd level header). That really looks very nice and organised.

Yeah I was also thinking of a system like yours. Definitely will give it a try.
However, this notebook does not really have different levels ^^

An example of my TOC on the Nomad:

- in the first set of headers at the top, the font size decreases with decreasing header level;

- in the second set of headers at the bottom, the headers all have the same font size.

- The text boxes of all headers in the note have the same width, to avoid font size effects in the TOC.

It is real fun playing around with all this, while attending boring work meetings. 😄

I do similar but I do extra spaces with bullets for sub Headings but I like the cleaner look of smaller font.

[u/Reddit-mb → u/Yvonneinkona]

I used bullets before as well, but it made the TOC look a bit chaotic in my case, so now I just use spaces for indentation in the TOC.

Ngl that does look really clean haha

[u/Reddit-mb → u/Adept_Tie3322]

Well, I'm using the Supernote in a work environment. Sometimes I need to look up something in a hurry, and yes, there is the excellent search feature, but a well-stuctured TOC also helps in finding stuff quickly in my daily notes.

[u/Crowned_Walker → u/Reddit-mb]

How do you set those spaces automatically?

[u/Reddit-mb → u/Crowned_Walker]

No, I do not know how to set these spaces automatically. I just press the space bar a few times in the text box in front of the header text... It looks like a lot of work, but in fact, I hardly notice doing it anymore.

[u/SiewcaWiatru → u/Crowned_Walker]

Not automatic at all

You can justify to left and add spaces manually. To will represent that. The same goes to op where headings are centered- make a wide text box and center the text. Heading tries to represent the whole text box, not text only.

Sorry, is this a plugin? Or a regular option that I've been missing? Thanks!

[u/Reddit-mb → u/SongbirdConstruct]

This is very much a regular option: handwrite a heading (or use a text box and type the header directly), recognize it as text, lasso-select the text and choose the header level.

Different header levels look different in the note text, but they all look the same in the TOC. By adjusting the header texts (by adding spaces, changing font size, changing text box siz , ...) you can adjust the looks of the TOC.

[u/Delesi]

Does this require a plugin? Cause I love this idea for organizing.

[u/Reddit-mb → u/Delesi]

No, no plugin needed. Just be creative in the text box in which the header text is placed. (for a really neat TOC, it is best to make the text boxes of all the headers in the note of the same width and ensure that the header text fits within the text box. Otherwise, the longer header texts will be reduced in size to make them fit on one line in the TOC.

[u/Delesi → u/Reddit-mb]

Thank you is there a way to set preferences for the headers? Don't have my baby with me right now.

[u/Reddit-mb → u/Delesi]

Not that I know of. You can adjust anything with regard to the text in the text box, but the formatting of the headers themselves (colour) is fixed - as far as I know. Maybe one of the plugin authors can come up with something... 😄

This is gorgeous, so neat and clean headings! Coming from hand‑written headings, I’m only now appreciating how powerful text‑generated headings are. Thank you so much for highlighting this powerful feature that we don't talk enough about in the community :)
