A couple of newbie questions

A couple of newbie questions

Hello,

 

I am starting to work on my first pandoc project. I am creating both a pdf and Microsoft word docx file from my markdown files (in the process of creating a book).

 

I have two basic questions:

 

1.                How can I format a cover page that includes just the title, author, and date the pdf//docx was generated?

2.                How do I force pagebreaks between sections of the book? For example after the overview and before chapter 1.

Any tips examples would be greatly appreciated.

I am also a newbie, so there may be a better answer than this, but if you
add  "--top-level-division=chapter" as an argument on the command line it
will force a page break before every H1 element.

Hi Don.

Regarding docx generation, you can influence the outcome via the 
`reference-doc`.

There you can tweak the positioning of the styles used in the title page 
(even to the point of *reordering* some of them if you play with absolute 
positioning in the styles).

I also recommend that you use the "first page is different" option in your 
header/footer options and use that to include specific logos you may need 
in your title page (thus you won't need them in your markdown), and the 
rest of header/footers.

As for docx pagebreaks I have found that the easiest solution is to define 
your headings 1, 2... styles in your reference-doc to include a page jump 
before the style.

Best regards,
  Agustín.
