How do I manage (pdf) bookmarks in Quarto?

[jtlandis]

Description

Hello, I've been using quarto for a while now and I love its functionality. I have noticed that the default for rendering to pdf is to make bookmarks according to the headings. For example

---
title: test
format: pdf
---

# Heading 1

## Heading 2

### Heading 3

#### Heading 4

would produce a simple pdf, with 3 levels of bookmarks (heading 4 does not produce a bookmark) all collapsed.

Do the authors of quarto know how I might create bookmarks without using a heading? This may look something like the below:

---
title: test
format: pdf
---

# Heading 1

a)  <!-- foo --> 
b)  <!-- bar -->

## Heading 2

### Heading 3

#### Heading 4

Where I could potentially create bookmarks for sub-listings a) and b) either via a shortcode or some class/identifier?

Bookmark are automatically handled by LaTeX.
You need to check on LaTeX dedicated places if there is a LaTeX command to do that that does not imply the use of \section or \subsection.
That's not really up to Quarto (or Pandoc).

If you find a command to do that, you'll likely need to use raw code:

• `whatever latex code`{=latex}
• ```{=latex}

See also the available options to configure the LaTeX template at https://quarto.org/docs/reference/formats/pdf.html.
