Markdown Note Refactor is a Visual Studio Code extension that aims to streamline the process of managing and organizing markdown files. This tool allows users to automatically split sections of a markdown file into separate files based on h2 headers and link them together for easy navigation. Inspired by the Obsidian community plugin note-refactor-obsidian, this extension brings similar functionality to VS Code, enhancing productivity for writers, developers, and note-takers working with markdown files.

• Automated Section Splitting: Splits the currently opened markdown file into sections based on h2 headers, each becoming its own separate file.
• Dynamic File Generation: Automatically generates new markdown files using the h2 header titles as filenames, placed in a specified directory.
• Content Duplication: Copies the text within the original file's sections into the corresponding new markdown files.
• Link Creation: Inserts wiki-style links in the original file that point to the newly created files, facilitating easy navigation between them.
