You can export the entire document to HTML and have Notecase automatically create a TOC and links.
With regard to links, this is what the online documentation says:
——- quote——-
Each NoteCase Pro note can contain an arbitrary number of hyperlinks, that refer to some target data. Also, each note title can be a hyperlink.
Target data can be:
– Another note in the same NoteCase Pro document
– An inline link target in another note in the same document.
– A note or inline link target in another NoteCase Pro document
– A web URL
– An email address (“mailto:” link)
– A Lua script file (this is a very special purpose kind of link: When double-clicking such a link, the linked Lua script file is executed. This makes it possible to launch some NoteCase Pro automation from within the document content by double-clicking a script link)
– A Lua script embedded in a document note or plugin (will have same effect as executing a Lua script file).
——- quote end——-

Some other options:
MediaWiki (what powers Wikipedia)
Dynalist (can format links with Markdown and make outlines accessible via the web)
Pinboard.in (can import lists of links, tag them, and share them online with or without notes)

I’ve found MyInfo’s HTML export suitable for such web presentation of structured content. It creates a two-pane outlined which can be put online via FTP and even embedded in an existing website in an iFrame.
In another price league, MindManager also produces very good-looking web output.

I have recently been doing similar research. For me, the following are still in the running:
- MyInfo - as noted earlier in the thread the HTML output is decent
- Zim - A bit basic
- Wikidpad - A step up from Zim, but I need more time to investigate as the learning curve is non-trivial

I use some of the ones others have posted here for exporting to HTML and they all work good.
The best one I’ve found is RightNote, it also exports the HTML with a Search feature automatically to search the entire database. Nice to export if you’re using an offline HTML reader.
