3 years ago Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
I'm not sure to fully understand your goal. I understand that you want to move the literature review section in the front matter and move the table of contents at the end of the front matter.
There are two strategies:
- modify the thesis template
- use JavaScript to move the literature review section (see below)
In both cases, I think you also will have to slightly modify the default thesis CSS stylesheet.
With JavaScript, you can do something like that:

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE,

```
```{js, echo=FALSE}
Paged.registerHandlers(class extends Paged.Handler {
constructor(chunker, polisher, caller) {
super(chunker, polisher, caller);
}
beforeParsed(content) {
// get the table of contents
const toc = content.querySelector('#TOC');
// move it at the end of the front matter
content.querySelector('.front-matter-container')
.appendChild(toc);
}
});
```
<!--
move the literature review section to the front matter,

# Literature Review {.front-matter .unnumbered}
This is where you can include a lit review if you don't wish for it to be an individual chapter or to be numbered. To make sure that a section heading is not numbered use the `{-}` notation beside the header text like this:
_**rmarkdown**_:
```markdown
# Literature Review {-}
This is where you can include a lit review if you don't wish for it to be an individual chapter or to be numbered. To make sure that a section heading is not numbered use the `{-}` notation beside the header text like this:
```
# The Basics {.chapter}
## Introduction
This template is based on the `pagedown::html_paged` template and modified to meet the requirements of a generic thesis document. Standard RMarkdown formatting can be used for smooth and distraction free writting, for example I will add a citation for the {knitr} package which is located in the `Thesis.bib` file auto-generated in this template [@R-knitr].
Thanks to the [help](https://github.com/rstudio/pagedown/issues/101) of [Romain Lesur](https://github.com/RLesur) this template has the ability to tag section headers with the word "Chapter ". To have your chapters display as this one (_Chapter 1 The Basics_) use the `{.chapter}` class like this:If you test this solution, you will see that the page numbers of the front matter are not correct. In order to get the right numbers for the front matter, modify this CSS rule https://github.com/rstudio/pagedown/blob/6f616b8d314647628b00515810d02ef0da53d045/inst/resources/css/thesis.css#L139-L141 like that
.front-matter-container > .level1:first-of-type > h1 {
counter-reset: page 1;
}
I used the code from thesis template of pagedown package. The default position of table of contents is after Acknowledgement and before List of table. I would like to add it after the Literature Review section. How can I do it?.
This is the code from the pagedown package's thesis template.
