Create List of Notes

This plugin creates a bulleted list of all notes (or folder notes) contained within the current note's parent folder at the cursor position. This is useful for creating a table of contents or a list of related notes.

This plugin may be used with folder notes or regular notes. At the moment, there is no option to recursively list notes in subfolders.
