adding toc on rmarkdown documents

[emmandecena]

Hi,

I cannot seem to show the table of contents on my rmarkdown generated document.
I tried adding bookToC: true , booktoc: true or toc: true to the front matter of my rmarkdown document but still the toc does not show on the rendered html.

Hi!
Parameter BookToC in site and page params is true by default, perhaps your toc is limited by markup config, by default hugo starts to render headings from second level in toc.

Try this in your site config:

[markup.tableOfContents]
  startLevel = 1
  endLevel = 6

Ref: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration-markup/#table-of-contents

If that doesn't help compare your settings and content to exampleSite, ToC works there.

I was able to show the toc by putting the following code on my Rmarkdown front matter:
output: blogdown::html_page: toc: true

However, I would like the toc to be on the right side, just like your template. How do I extract this toc and put it on the template? See attached image. Thank you.

Hi!
Did you try suggestions I had in previous comment?
Maybe you can create example site to reproduce issue, so I can have a look at it.

Perhaps you need to switch output format from rmd to md for that. Unfortunately I don't have experience with blogdown.

I figured there might not yet be a feature to extract the toc from and rmd file. Will try to address this issue on the blogdown page. Thank you!
