Banners and Table of Contents

Table from “Graphis diagrams: The Graphic Visualization of Abstract Data”

Banner

If you want a more prominent, visually distinct title area—like the banner shown above—you can enable a title block banner on a per-document basis:

title-block-banner: true

This adds a full-width header section that helps your page stand out and creates a clearer visual hierarchy for your title and metadata. For more details and customization options, see the Quarto documentation

This page demonstrates two types of tables of contents (TOC): a floating TOC on the right that follows your scroll position, and a fixed TOC at the top of the page.

You can control TOC behavior with several options (see the full reference):

toc: true
toc-depth: 2
toc-location: right-body  # alternatives: "right", "left", "body"

toc: Enables the table of contents.
toc-depth: Controls how many heading levels are included.
toc-location: Controls placement:
- right or left creates a floating sidebar TOC.
- body places the TOC directly in the document.
- right-body combines both approaches.

Note: Floating TOCs are not displayed on mobile devices. If it’s important that readers always have an overview of the page structure, consider including a body TOC as well.
