PDF bookmarks without table of contents: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:32, 6 January 2026

There is currently no built-in way to obtain an outline in the PDF metadata without also printing a table of contents (see Issue #6300). This snippet provides a workaround.

Note that you have to compile the snippet by yourself to get a PDF so that you can see the bookmarks.

\version "2.24"

#(define-markup-list-command (invisible-table-of-contents layout props) ()
   (interpret-markup-list layout props (make-table-of-contents-markup-list))
   (list empty-stencil))

\markuplist \invisible-table-of-contents

\tocItem \markup "Piece 1"
{ c' }

\tocItem \markup "Piece 2"
{ d' }
