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.

  • To move back to the beginning, keeping all notes open, press 1 (and 2 for the next one, and so forth).
  • To move back to the beginnning, closing all notes, click on the link in the top left (ObsidianHtml/Documentation).
  • To move left/right by one note, press , or .

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.
