Typesetting Markdown – Part 5: Interpolation
Hello again! This part of the series describes how to reference *interpolated* strings inside Markdown documents. https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/07/06/typesetting-markdown-part-5/ There's a section at the end about eliminating the table of contents from a reusable document template. I would have preferred using setups, rather than redefining the \completecontent macro, but didn't see an obvious way to do so. Thoughts?

Why not simply omit \compltecontent from the pandoc template? Aditya
Thank you Aditya.
The main.tex file is meant to be reusable for different document styles. By
removing \completecontent altogether from the main template, it would
preclude a different document from reusing the main.tex template with a
table of contents. I'd like the template to be "reusable"; making
modifications to "main.tex" --- or creating a copy --- would subvert that
goal.

Pandoc allows that. For example, see line 140 of the default context template: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/blob/master/default.context I don't remember the exact command line parameters for pandoc that set the toc flag to true. An equivalent method will be to control this using a ConTeXt mode. Redefining \completecontent to \empty seems too drastic. Aditya
Thanks again for the great ideas. The downside is that it comes with a lot
of extra ConTeXt setup code. My understanding is that the toc parameter to
pandoc only works when creating a standalone document. I think
\def\completecontent\empty is a bit more expressive of intent than
\def\completecontent{}. Modes are probably the way to go, though.
Thank you.
