Tabs Layout
Important

This is the documentation for v3.5.0 and lower, for documentation for v4.0.0 and higher, see https://obsidian-html.github.io/

When the styling layout setting is set to tabs, the html output uses a tab system, where each internal link opens a new note on the right of the parent note.

You can view this site in tabs layout here.

This layout is for people who use the smart note taking / zettelkasten methods, where dense linkage is prefered over giving a strict structure from the get-go. It allows to have multiple notes open at one time, and to scroll back and forth, following a thread of related notes.

Scrolling notes

When you open a whole chain of notes, you'll be scrolled rightward to keep up.

Of course, the scrollbar and arrow keys are also available as methods of navigation.

Closing tabs

When you click on a new link in an earlier tab, all the open tabs after it will be closed.

Notice the url

There is a ?path= part in the link that allows you to open the same set of tabs after a refresh.
