Pandoc - how to get pagebreak between title block and the table of contents?












2














Simple markdown file, with YAML block:



---
title: Report
author: Tom Brown 12345678
date: August 2018
toc: true
numbersections: true
geometry: margin=2.5cm
urlcolor: blue
header-includes: |
usepackage{fancyhdr}
pagestyle{fancy}
lfoot{Draft Prepared: 15 August 2018}
rfoot{Page thepage}
---


When I create the PDF output, the title and ToC are on the same page. How can I get the title block on one page and the ToC on the next? I've searched high and low and cannot find a solution.

          Pandoc allows to insert LaTeX between title and the actual document via the include-before metadata field. Adding the following to your YAML header should be sufficient:



          include-before:
          - '`newpage{}`{=latex}'

            While @tarleb's method of course is correct and more 'YAMLish' (but less intuitive), you can also write the following into your source Markdown file:




            ---
            title: Report
            author: Tom Brown 12345678

            toc: true
            numbersections: true
            geometry: margin=2.5cm
            urlcolor: blue
            header-includes: |
            usepackage{fancyhdr}

            lfoot{Draft Prepared: 15 August 2018}
            rfoot{Page thepage}

            • The above code only inserts a page-break between toc and content, not between title-block and toc. However, I agree that an alternative, non-YAML solution would be helpful: one could remove the toc entry from YAML and insert the newpage{} toc directly into the document.
