toc: $toc$ not being replaced with Table of Contents

[robertdodd]

I cannot get a Table of Contents to be included when converting from HTML to PDF.

I added the $toc$ variable to my html file and set the template property with curl, but the $toc$ variable doesn't get replaced with anything.

My full code is is a gist here https://gist.github.com/robertdodd/52e1c29a5357f13f6a80 but here's my shell command:

curl --form from=html \
     --form to=pdf \
     --form test_mode=true \
     --form input_files[]=@input.html \
     --form template=input.html \
     --form table_of_contents=true \
     $DOCVERTER_API_URL > html_to_pdf.pdf

echo html_to_pdf.pdf

$toc$ is a pandoc directive and HTML -> PDF doesn't go through pandoc.

Thanks Peter!

Whats my next best option?

• Use internal links: <a href="#introduction">Introduction</a>?
• Could I convert from html -> pandoc-format, then pandoc-format -> PDF/DOCX?

Which conversions go through pandoc?

Everything but html -> pdf and epub -> mobi goes through Docverter. I expect the internal links option is probably the best.
