When creating PDF document with pandoc command line I use the
parameter "--toc" to automatically create Table of Contents from the
document titles and subtitles. For example from command line:
pandoc --toc --latex-engine=xelatex --listings -H macros.tex
BioSmalltalk.md -s -o BioSmalltalk.pdf
I don't know if "toc" is supported in Pillar. As I understand a Pillar
book can contain multiple chapters, but a chapter may include a table
of contents on its own?

Ok, what I mean is for example with the "longtabu" LaTeX package I can
specify column width individually:
\begin{longtabu} to \linewidth{X[1.5,l,m] X[.3,m] X[.3,m] X[.5,m]
X[c,m] X[c,m] X[c,m]}
And many other table spacing properties :

I guess to add more advanced features one should edit Pillar templates
with archetype?

I would love to have linkcolor, anchorcolor, citecolor, etc :)
What I found is
https://github.com/pillar-markup/Pillar-Archetype/blob/master/book/support/latex/common.tex
So I could inject my own LaTeX styles/commands/sections in common.tex?
Or should I go through PRLaTeXWriter?
Then if you like it you may integrate into Pillar in the future?

Thanks for your comments Stef.
