Problem using toc in rmarkdown file in a shiny application

[Familie Gieshoff]

Dear all,

I am struggling with a problem using the toc function in a rmarkdown file used in shiny.

The file is attached....

Knitting the file in RStudio the floating TOC is displayed. Using the same file in a shiny app through

includeMarkdown("./www/changelog2.Rmd")

the table of content is not shown. (Even if you delete toc_float in the YAML header, the table of content is not shown).

Have I missed something?

Thank you very much in advance.

Jürgen

Dear all,

I have found an alternative way to get to the desired result (and it is so easy...)

In my sidebar (shinydashboard) I added

menuItem ("Help", href = "helpfile.html",newtab = TRUE, icon = icon("question"))

The link opens the html file generated from the knitting process in a new tab. It works really nicely.

Best regards,

Jürgen
