You might not know and you will after reading this, but HUGO parses the headings from markdown ( i.e., #, #, etc.) and stores all those headings in an HTML structure ( i.e., nav) with id="TableOfContents". In this part, we are interested in the div which includes the TOC and we can see that the id is "TOC". To narrow down where to look a little bit, I remove all parts not related to the TOC generated in the HTML file.

# lm(formula = dist ~ speed, data = cars) If we take a look at the HTML file produced by rmarkdown::render_site(). In conclusion and since we modified the page layout, the issue no longer seems to be on the HUGO side. It’s looking great for the markdown post! TableOfContents is a HUGO variable which contains the TOC of the post.Īgain, we need to render the index.en.Rmd file, or to restart the website ( blogdown::stop_server()/ blogdown::serve_site()) to ensure all modifications are taken into account. Content is a HUGO variable which contains the content of the post.

To note and for later, in the code chunk below: On a smaller screen, the TOC will occupy twelve columns ( i.e., equivalent to the css width: 100% ) and will be wrapped after the contents, hence it will be under. In this case, the TOC will use three out of the twelve columns in a wide screen ( i.e., grid layout). I am not going to use the code proposed in comment, but instead a slight modification to make the TOC a bit more responsive. We do not want to modify any of the files in the themes directory, so we will create a new file at the root directory of our blogdown website ( layouts/_default/single.html). Note: Have a look at HUGO website for the HUDO templating syntax. For more details on using R Markdown see. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. The default Rmarkdown file can be found at content/post/-r-rmarkdown/index.en.Rmd from the root directory of the website.

Most of this post will focus on the Rmarkdown file with. Once installed, several default posts are available, including simple markdown file, Jupyter notebook file and Rmarkdown file. Note: To a more complete setup workflow for blogdown, I recommend to have a look at Alison Hill’s blog post: “ Up & Running with Blogdown in 2021”. Write your posts in an Rmd or Rmarkdown file ( it Makes no difference now) with the following in the YAML header. Within a blogdown installation based on the “ wowchemy/starter-hugo-academic” HUGO theme:Ĭreate /layouts/_default/single.html. blogdown::new_site(theme = "wowchemy/starter-hugo-academic") įor the remaining of this post, I will use the “ wowchemy/starter-hugo-academic” HUGO theme within a new default blogdown website created with the following function call. Getting a TOC is quite easy with an Rmarkdown, thus it should be the same in blogdown.
#Rmarkdown toc how to#
One of the latest tweak I had to figure out was: how to get a floating TOC. In the past few weeks, I have been slowly getting my head around blogdown and HUGO, to finally published this website about a week ago. The focus of this post is on blogdown ( /rstudio/blogdown), in particular on how to have a table of contents (TOC) on either the left or the right side of a post to ease the navigation through a long post. Welcome to my very first blog post ( i.e., I do not count ggpacman).
