      In more advanced word processors we have a table of contents. We click on an item and are immediately taken to the page corresponding to it.

      Is there a way to do this in Notepad++ while using plain text files? It would require that Notepad++ identity certain sequence of characters as being a link to another line or marker in the file.

        @Hassan-Iqbal ,

        Notepad++ is a text editor, not a word processor.

        However, if you’re doing things like code, the builtin feature Function List (enable using the View > Function List menu entry) will allow you to see go immediately to function definitions.

        Using the same Function List feature, this post shows the config information that goes into %AppData%\Notepad++\functionList.xml, which allows the Function List to work with Markdown text headers (so you can quickly navigate between sections in your Markdown documentation).

        If you define a UDL, then define the Function List setting to accompany it, you could get a table-of-contents-like feature for whatever style of text you have (whether it’s code, Markdown, TODO list, or what have you).

        See @MAPJe71’s excellent FAQ Desk: Function List Basics in the FAQ section of the forum for more on how to configure new languages/formats to be visible in the Function List.

          See the functionality of the funclist.js script from the repository https://github.com/trdm/jn-npp-scripts.
          I was doing the jump function to the desired line. See functions: gotoAnyHtmlTag (), listFunctions ().
