Instant Document Outline & Smooth Jump Navigation

Long-form documentation requires structure. When writing comprehensive system designs, legal briefs, or research papers, readers need an immediate mental model of the document's structure. Foxcolab Notes includes an auto-generated Table of Contents component. It scans your `#`, `##`, and `###` headers in real time to assemble an indented jump outline. Clicking any header scrolls the page smoothly directly to that section.
