Outliner where you can preset color/formatting based on level

Hello,

Do you guys know an outliner (windows or web) where you can decide beforehand what the formatting will be for a given level, then when you’re at that level, it automatically applies the formatting? I only know of 2 pieces of software that do this. They’re great in their own ways but suffer from being very old and not maintained. The first one is Outline4D, but it’s outdated and expensive.

The second one is Noteliner, which is very nice and has some great features like a navigation bar to parts of the outline, tagging that works as a filter, etc etc. But it’s also quite limited due to being outdated. In this software, you can preset the styles you want to be applied to each level, then it automatically does this. There’s also color that can be applied which is very useful indeed.

As an extra, one thing that you can do in neither of these that I would also like to be able to is to paste images along with text. But finding both these features in one currently active good outliner is not very realistic I suppose. So if there are any other outliners which ONLY have this feature, that would be nice. Workflowy enables this currently IIRC, and dynalist in the pro version, but neither of these worked out for me because workflowy gets messy, dynalist only allows small amount of text per page, after that the text starts overflowing out of the white page borders into the margins which is very crude and I won’t be getting the pro version of this.

Does anyone have any recommendations, comments, or critiques?
