I am using python-pdfkit as follows to generate a PDF:

pdfkit.from_file(list_of_files, toc=toc, cover=cover, cover_first=True, options=default_options)

My problem is regarding the table of contents that is generated:

The table of contents is generated based on the H tags in the input
documents

If my html files are like:

index1.html

<h1>Title</h1>
...
[content]

index2.html

<h2>Subtitle</h2>
...
[content]

index3.html

<h3>Sub-subtitle</h3>
...
[content]

Since they are 3 different files, then the generated TOC is:

Title --------------------- Page x
Subtitle ------------------ Page y
Sub-subtitle -------------- Page z

Instead of

Title--------------------- Page x
 Subtitle -------------- Page y
 Sub-subtitle ------- Page z

I have tried merging all html files together but it is giving me a lot of problems with the internal links... linking to files instead to HTML #IDs gets tricky with a single HTML file all merged.

Any idea how to tell wkhtmltopdf to respect the H tags hierarchy without resetting it per file?

Thanks!

Edit:

After some discussion in the wkhtmltopdf github issues section, the only easy way of achieving this result is pre-parsing the HTML files to merge them all together.
