Horizontal Line + Collapsible Sections + Sub-Notes
Two really useful formatting features I would like to see are (1) a horizontal line/divider (helps to break up longer documents visually), and (2) the ability to toggle/collapse sections on a page. e.g. Each heading could have a toggle arrow next to it, and the page could have buttons to expand/collapse all sections to Heading 1, 2, or 3. This would work very nicely alongside a Table of Contents/outline feature.
Even better: the ability to treat a section as a sub-note. i.e. You can click on the section and zoom into it as its own note (and have the note show up in the main note list). This is a really useful feature in Scrivener, and Craft offer a form of sub-note as well. Very useful when working on larger research/writing projects, which might result in large and unwieldy notes.

Lucian AdminHey there Aurelius!
You can insert a horizontal line in Amplenote by typing three hyphens "---", just like you would in Markdown.
Make sure to upvote the existing suggestion on collapsible headings and bullets here: https://amplenote.featureupvote.com/suggestions/25490/allow-for-hideable-subtasks-aka-collapsiblefoldable-bullet-points
I am pretty sure sub-notes is not a feature that will be adopted in Amplenote, given that hierarchy is already achieved through nested tags and note navigation and fragmentation is done by using bidirectional linking and block transclusion. Don't hesitate to submit a separate suggestion for the sub-notes feature, however, if you think there's more to argue in favor of a feature like this. This might give the team and @Bill a chance to review and consider the implications of this request. -

AureliusThanks for the tip @Lucian! I tried the three hyphens method, but my iPad auto-converted the first two hyphens into em-dashes (—). Could perhaps be worth having an onscreen shortcut in the formatting bar as well as the Markdown method.

Lucian AdminSounds like a very good feature request to post in a separate thread :)
