6.1 Book Structure

book:
  chapters:
    - index.qmd
    - preface.qmd
    - part: dice.qmd
      chapters: 
        - basics.qmd
        - packages.qmd
    - part: cards.qmd
      chapters:
        - objects.qmd
        - notation.qmd
        - modifying.qmd
        - environments.qmd
    - references.qmd
  appendices:
    - tools.qmd
    - resources.qmd

• The index.qmd file is required (because Quarto books also produce a website in HTML format). This page should include the preface, acknowledgements, etc.

• The remainder of chapters includes one or more book chapters.

  You can divide your book into parts using part within the book chapters.

  Note that the markdown files dice.qmd and cards.qmd contain the part title (as a level one heading) as well as some introductory content for the part.

  If you just need a part title then you can alternatively use this syntax:

  book:
    chapters:
      - index.qmd
      - preface.qmd
      - part: "Dice"
        chapters: 
          - basics.qmd
          - packages.qmd

• The references.qmd file will include the generated bibliography (see References below for details).
