command line argument for table of content.

[sorenwacker]

I just tried this

jupyter nbconvert --to pdf --no-input notebook.ipynb

And it is a really convenient way to remove the code cells from the PDF.

I thought it would be really nice if something like this would also exist for table of content.

E.g. :

jupyter nbconvert --to pdf --no-input --with-toc notebook.ipynb

Hello @sorenwacker,

You can use the \tableofcontents command inside the Raw cell. This command will generate the table of contents in whatever place you like in your document.

You can see the PDF export result from my example:

If you wish to have the table of contents on a separate page you can do so by adding \newpage command in your Raw cell like that:

\newpage
\tableofcontents
\newpage

In general, I agree that the command like --with-toc would be useful. But in this case, we need to agree on where to insert the table of contents?
The first page?
The second page?
In some particular place in the text?

I would prefer the TOC at the beginning of the document right after the title, and to have an intent after it.
This result can be achieved by adding the Raw cell with the following content in the beginning of the document:

\tableofcontents
\indent

But I don't know who we need to consult to agree on a solution like that.

Note: The commands in my comment will work only with PDF export through latex. They aren't tested with any other export format.

Amazing. Thank you.

I would like to revive this issue and reopen it.

I believe the suggestion for a --with-toc or --toc option in nbconvert could be useful.

The solution proposed with /tableofcontents will only work with latex generated outputs.
