pandoc md to pdf toc

pandoc md to pdf toc

[GornLives]

So, since upgrading to 1.9.1.2, when I convert pandoc markdown
directly to pdf via the command line I get a great pdf but no toc in
the pdf viewer. I don't want an actual toc page, but I do want the pdf
search bar to show a toc. It does this when I go from md to tex and
then compile the .tex file in Latex.

I assume there is some command variable I should be using. But "--toc"
gives me an actual toc page, which I don't want. So how do I just get
the PDF toc?

thanks!

I defined a new command to generate a toc without a toc page:

% Fake a table of contents to get the hyperlinks
\makeatletter
\newcommand\silenttableofcontents{%
      \newwrite\tf@toc
      \immediate\openout\tf@toc \jobname.toc
}
\makeatother

If you

\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%

instead, it should work with the standard \tableofcontents command.

I've already fixed this problem in the development version.
I plan to put out a new release within the next couple days.
