Thanks for you answer, it is clearer to me now.

While I prefer the possibility to set every option through YAML, I see 
there is the possibility to set --toc on the command line and then disable 
for a single file with `toc: false`, which is fine to me.
(I am currently working on a workflow for scholarly journals where editors 
should be able to set this kind of options at paper level, in YAML 
metadata; I will publish documentation and code as soon as I am ready)

Meanwhile I found a probably known discrepancy with --number-sections:

with `numbersections: false` in YAML I can override the flag set on command 
line, but it has effect only in PDF/LaTeX, not in HTML.
Having no option in HTML template I suppose this is something not so 
straightforward.
