Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I edit a text file, VNote does not have an outline function, so when I look at that file later, I cannot see where I wrote.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to set up outline rules for each file extension.
I want VNote to display the outlines according to those rules.
I would like to be able to set the rules in regular expressions for each hierarchy.
For example, if I set up the following, the line starting with "#" is hierarchy 1 of the outline, and the line starting with "##" is hierarchy 2.

  • Hierarchy 1=^#\s*(. *?) $.
  • Hierarchy 2=^#\s*(. ?) ( #)? $

Research direction

Start by tracing VNote's existing outline implementation and how text-file settings are stored. Compare the requested per-extension regular-expression rules and hierarchy behavior with the current outline handling. Done means text files can define extension-specific rules and display matching hierarchical outlines.
