Sequential Timeline for Obsidian

Render beautiful sequential timelines with vertical connectors using simple Markdown syntax.

Syntax

```timeline
1. **Locate Anchor Node** *Hover interaction*
Hovering over any historical user prompt reveals the structural control menu.

2. **Execute Fork or Edit** *Action selection*
The user selects "Fork Path" to clone the context.

3. **Deploy Changes** *Production*
Run the final deployment script.
```

Features

  • ✅ Vertical connector lines with dashed styling
  • ✅ Numeric badges that respect your indices (1, 5, 10, etc.)
  • ✅ Auto-conversion of * or - to sequential numbers
  • ✅ XSS-safe sanitization
  • ✅ Dark/light theme support
