General ⇒ List of Equation PDF bookmark bug?

[Shea12Shea12]

Hello, this is my first time on this forum so please excuse any mistakes.

I am currently trying to create a technical report which contains: chapters, figures, tables and equations. I currently use Rmarkdown to render the PDF, and when I create the PDF, there is a Bookmarks panel that helps navigate to chapters, sections, etc. (If this question needs to be taken to an R forum please let me know!) However, when I click on the "List of Equation" Bookmark, it jumps to "List of Tables".

Below is the Code used in my .Rmd file

Code: Select all

---
output:
  pdf_document:
    includes:
      in_header: preamble.tex
fontsize: 11pt
documentclass: book
---
\tableofcontents
\clearpage

\listoffigures
\clearpage

\listoftables
\clearpage

\listofmyequations
\clearpage

\chapter{First chapter}

\section{First section}

\begin{equation}
E=mc^2 
\end{equation}
\myequations{Some equation}

and my preamble.tex file

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tocbibind}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{xpatch}

\newcommand{\listequationsname}{List of Equations}
\newlistof{myequations}{equ}{\listequationsname}
\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{%
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\par}

\xpretocmd{\listofmyequations}{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listequationsname}}{}{}

From my understanding, the "\xpretocmd ..." line is what adds the LoE to the bookmarks, but it must share the same reference as LoT?

Thank you for reading this post, and any help is much appreciated.

Hello Alan,

welcome to the forum!

Try inserting \phantomsection (explained here):

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{%
\phantomsection%
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\par}

and / or

Code: Select all

\xpretocmd{\listofmyequations}{\phantomsection\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listequationsname}}{}{}

Stefan,

Thank you for your quick response. With your insight, I managed to use /phantomsection to correct my report. The following is the fix.

Code: Select all

output:
  pdf_document:
    includes:
      in_header: preamble.tex
fontsize: 11pt
documentclass: book

\tableofcontents
\clearpage

\listoffigures
\clearpage

\listoftables
\clearpage

\phantomsection
\listofmyequations
\clearpage

\chapter{First chapter}

\section{First section}

\begin{equation}
E=mc^2 
\end{equation}
\myequations{Some equation}

Again, thank you.
Alan
