Toc, list of figures are managed by the latex template. So yes you
have them if you template use it.
In fact a template is just a latex with {{{title}}}, {{{attribution}}}
We are working with guille in making pillar simpler to change.
Students were not really well supervised by damien and they produce
rather difficiult to understand and extend
design so I'm slowly going over the points.
Usually we can do the following
- first level, renewcommand in latex so like that we do not have to
extend the syntax of pillar
- second level, we can use the option of a command such as ${cite:}$ I
should check because for example we should be able to specify
the bib file but we should extend the nodes and model of pillar.
- third level we change the syntax but I would like to avoid it.
What I can try is to convert one of your document and check how it goes.
Now I'm really busy.
How do they do it in pandoc? In pillar now you can embed plain latex
using {{{}}} I guess but it means that you cannot export that nicely
to HTML. I want to find a good css to produce a lot sexier output.
