Notebook Outline / Table of Contents
Problem
Notebooks can be long and require a lot of scrolling around to properly review. Users have asked for outline view.
Solution
Table of contents (ToC) that shows clickable nested markdown headers would help reviewers to
- Just look at the notebook outline / high level structure
- Click on specific parts to quickly navigate & review just that section - also can quickly jump back & forth between various sections of a given notebook
Feel free to upvote/downvote the issue indicating whether you think this is useful feature or not. I also welcome additional questions/comments/discussion on the issue.
Example would be outline section shown in VSCode notebooks. Screenshot below.
Open Questions
- Should code cells be shown in the outline? If yes, how / what should the outline item say?
- Should comment counts be shown alongside outline item text? If yes, should it be total comment count or just the open/unresolved comment count?
- Should diff indicators (++ / -- or green / red squares) be shown on the outline item to visually indicate which part of the notebook has diff?
- Is this outline useful for small diffs? Should we show it for ALL diffs? It's most useful for newly added files.
