How to add table of contents to R Markdown HTML file using pandoc but retain all the HTML formatting and header information?
E.g., If I had a file called test.html
, I tried:
pandoc -s -S --toc test.html -o test-toc.html
This adds the table of contents but it removes the existing header information which makes all the formatting attractive.
Thus, it makes this html file look like this one. I'd like to preserve the formatting.
I'm not sure how you can tell Pandoc to keep all the style and header information. However, presumably this style does not change very much, so why don't you copy this into a .css
stylesheet file and point to this file when generating the output HTML (with the -c
or --css
command line options)? You can tell Pandoc to embed this stylesheet information into your final output using the --self-contained
command line option (see here for the full list of options).
For the MathJax script in your input HTML file you can use
--mathjax=https://c328740.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/mathjax/2.0-latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML
Finally, for the R syntax highlighter you can use
--include-in-header=r_syntax.html
where r_syntax.html
contains the appropriate JavaScript wrapped in <script>
tags.
Update: Having said all that, you can include all the style and script information in a single file (say r_styling.html
) and include this at the end of the header of your output HTML using
pandoc -s -S --toc -h r_styling.html --self-contained test.html -o test-toc.html
The -h
option is shorthand for --include-in-header
.
