Do not include section in TOC in pandoc

I am using this thesis template. It includes the abstract, acknowledgements, list of figures... in the table of contents. According to the university guidelines my TOC should start with Chapter 1 Introduction and not list abstract, acknowledgements... .

In latex you can just use \section* however using .unnumbered in pandoc results in that section still being included.

What is the cleanest way to exclude the sections before the introduction chapter from the TOC?

You need to combine .unlisted with .unnumbered to achieve this, as stated in Pandoc documentation.

Example:

# Abstract {.unnumbered .unlisted}

# Acknowledgements {.unnumbered .unlisted}

# Chapter 1

You can use {.unlisted}.

Typically,

# Intro{.unlisted}

# Chapter 1

compiled with

pandoc test.md --toc -s -o test.html will give you

enter image description here

with the relevant html bit:

<body>
<nav id="TOC" role="doc-toc">
<ul>
<li><a href="#chapter-1">Chapter 1</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
<h1 class="unlisted" id="intro">Intro</h1>
<h1 id="chapter-1">Chapter 1</h1>
</body>

Source, Doc

I'm using -H header.tex as an Pandoc option.

My workaround is appending:

\let\oldaddcontentsline\addcontentsline

to header.tex directly.

I wrote the same issue on GitHub: https://github.com/chdemko/pandoc-latex-unlisted/issues/1

There's an open issue about this in pandoc.

To remove {.unnumbered} headers from the LaTeX TOC, you can meanwhile use the pandoc-latex-unlisted filter.

$ pip install pandoc-latex-unlisted
$ pandoc --filter pandoc-latex-unlisted input.md -o output.pdf
