pdf: page number doesn't corresponde to the page number in the table of content

Description

Dear all

I'm using quarto-1.3.450 on windows 10 to produce html and pdf output. Now I have seen that in the pdf output
the page number doesn't corresponde with the page numbers in the TOC.
My yaml section for the pdf output looks like:

pdf:
    quarto-required: ">=1.3.306"
    filters: [lua_filters/remove_title.lua, lua_filters/convertSVG.lua]  # remove_title.lua removes the default title page
    language: gsw # swiss german
    latex-auto-mk: true
    toc-title: Inhaltsverzeichnis
    default-image-extension: svg
    documentclass: scrreprt
    classoption: [table]
    keep-tex: true
    papersize: A4
    hyperrefoptions:
      - linktoc
      - "anchorcolor=green"
    linkcolor: blue
    urlcolor: cyan
    filecolor: magenta
    citecolor: red
    link-citations: true
    # cite-method: biblatex
    include-in-header:         
      - file: latex/custom_header.tex
      - text: |
          \def\authors{ {{< meta book.author >}} }
          %\renewcommand{\solution}[1]{#1}  
    include-before-body:
      - latex/pre_defColorChapFrame.tex
      - latex/title.tex

Even if I keep the *.tex output file and run another tex-editor to compile it to pdf I have the same beahviour. The page numbers are shiftet by two, means the page number 3 in the TOC jumps to the title page etc.

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
Mike

Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? Thanks.
Your example is not reproducible as we are missing a lot of components that might even be needed.
For instance, you might be creating the issue yourself with the includes and the filters.

Also, can you try using the 1.4 pre-release?

You can share a Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).

````qmd
---
title: "Reproducible Quarto Document"
format: html
engine: knitr
---

This is a reproducible Quarto document using `format: html`.
It is written in Markdown and contains embedded R code.
When you run the code, it will produce a plot.

```{r}
plot(cars)
```

The end.

hi mcanouil

Thanks for your answer.

I could figure out following details till now:
If I set the {.unnumbered} to the preface "vorwort in german", I will see it in the TOC (what's ok for me), but if I click it, I jump to the title page. So I set it now to {.unnumbered .unlist}. That's ok for me.

The page number problem occures as soon as the toc is at least two pages long. This means with the following chapter I don't have the page number problem.

  chapters:
    - index.qmd
    - ch_intro_VoltageAndCurrent/intro_U_I.qmd
    # - ch_ohm_kirchhoff/ohm.qmd
    # - ch_ohm_kirchhoff/kirchhoff.qmd

As soon as I have more chapters like

  chapters:
    - index.qmd
    - ch_intro_VoltageAndCurrent/intro_U_I.qmd
    - ch_ohm_kirchhoff/ohm.qmd
    - ch_ohm_kirchhoff/kirchhoff.qmd

the problem with the different page numbers in the toc and seen on the page starts.

I have no idea how I can solve that.

I attached the smallest project to reproduce it as *.zip file
ETELO_1_ Lehrjahr.zip

I already tested the 1.4 pre-release. The document doesn't compile to pdf with an error message:
LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end

Thank you very much
Mike

Unfortunately i can't run your file because of your filter that uses inkscape. Can you remove that? Thanks.

[MichelDSchmid]

I removed the lua filter, this is only to use inkscape instead of rsvg-converter because I get the Pango-Warning on the windows pc. I didn't found another way till now.

ETELO_1_ Lehrjahr.zip

Now it should be possible to run the project

regards
Mike

In the meantime, I found a nice solution to the problem.
I changed the numbering to roman (in latex) for the first some pages e.g. TOC, Preface etc.
Then I reset the chapter counter to 1 and changed numbering back to arabic (also in latex) ... That's a nice solution for me.

So I don't need further support.

Thanks for any help
Mike
