Table of contents in PDF via Prince?

Table of contents in PDF via Prince?

[Martin Post]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 781 bytes --]

I’m using Prince (Desktop) as the PDF Engine to convert Markdown to PDF:

pandoc -f markdown -t html --pdf-engine=prince -s in.md -o out.pdf

Is it possible to add a table of contents here directly, or would I have to 
do two passes (md > HTML > PDF)?

“--toc” has no effect, even when using an (HTML) template with a ToC 
placeholder.

Thank you.

There are probably more than one way to do this; I've described a few
options in this quick quide:

Oh, the man himself! I’m star-struck. :D

Thank you, Håkon. I have to admit I didn’t think of a JavaScript-based 
approach, but it makes sense. Will try this ASAP. And this also reminds me 
I need to upgrade to version 14. Prince XML is fantastic software, and 
using it with Pandoc allowed me to solve many problems where clunky 
desktop software wouldn’t do.
