Support for Pandoc's (Haskell Core's) Table of Contents Write Option

[simonvincenthk]

Hi,

I'd like to use pandoc's (the haskell core's) --table-of-contents=true/--toc=true general writer option to automatically generate a table of contents when writing a Pandoc object to a markdown file.

Every time I pass --table-of-contents=true or --toc=true as an option to the .write() method, I get an error.

Accordingly, I'm wondering if this option is supported and if I need to do anything special to use it?

I'm using

• pandoc (haskell core) version 2.19.2, and
• pandoc (python wrapper) version 2.3

Best regards, Simon

Hi @simonvincenthk!

The code

import pandoc

md = """

# Header 1

## Header 1.1

### Header 1.2

"""

doc = pandoc.read(md)

md_out = pandoc.write(doc, format="markdown", options=["-s", "--toc"])

print(md_out)

should output

-   [Header 1](#header-1)
    -   [Header 1.1](#header-1.1)
        -   [Header 1.2](#header-1.2)

Header 1
========

Header 1.1
----------

### Header 1.2

(except that ATM, I am running into #65 for some recent versions of pandoc(/Haskell) ; with 2.9.x I think that you should be fine)

What error do you get?

Best regards,

Sébastien
