I could call the same table of contents whether I was making one single section file, or one big merged one.
Today I found out that it doesn't work when I'm doing multiple files.

But wait... While I was typing this, it appears that as long as all of the individual files have a heading that is seven lines long and includes the subtitle, I can either make a single small file or a large merged one. Is the expected behavior? The header for doing this needs to be seven lines long to work right?

You can just put all of the markdown files (in order) on the command line, and pandoc will concatenate them before converting.

pandoc --toc part1.md part2.md part3.md -t html --pdf-engine=weasyprint -o wholething.pdf

I'm not sure where to start looking, so that H1 still behaves the way it does, but so that H2 also creates kind of a title page, and the other headings get bumped down a peg (so H3 acts like H2 does now, etc.)
