How to Run It

Three ways to trigger the command:

Right-click in the editor — open any note, right-click the body, select Create Structure.

Right-click in the file explorer — right-click a note in the left sidebar, select Create Structure.

Command palette — Cmd+P (Windows: Ctrl+P), type Dualyze Structure: Create Structure.

Confirmation Dialog

Before writing any files, the plugin shows a preview of what will be created.

The dialog lists every section it detected, and shows exactly how many files will be generated. Click Create to proceed or Cancel to abort — nothing is written until you confirm.

How Splitting Works

• Notes are split at every ## (H2) heading
• ### (H3) and deeper headings stay inside their parent H2 note
• Lead text before the first ## is not included in split notes
• File names follow the pattern <Note Title> - <Section Heading> (example: History of Classical Music - Baroque Era)
• Characters invalid in file names (/ \ : # ^ [ ] |) are replaced with - or removed
• Running the plugin a second time on the same note appends -1, -2, etc. — the original is never overwritten
