Labels, metadata
I have 2 questions for which I haven't been able to find an answer:
- When the same header appears several times in a document, LaTeX
complains about multiply defined labels. The
--nolabelsoption works fine to removeidattributes when generating html, but does not remove labels in LaTeX mode (why not?). Is there a solution, short of specifying an alternate labels by hand for each conflicting header? - Is there a way to specify metadata on the command-line when
invoking
mmd? I need to change the base header level of documents I'm not free to edit and I'd rather avoid having to generate intermediate files to add the appropriate metadata.
Thanks,
MC

1) `--nolabels` is specifically for HTML (the HTML won't validate,
which *does* break some things in HTML-land). But as for LaTeX, why
does it matter if `latex` complains? It still works just fine. Have a
glass of wine (or whatever) -- it's all good.... ;)
If you insist on soothing your inner OCD, then yes -- you can use
non-conflicting headers, provide manual labels, or modify the source to
not include the `autoref` functionality when outputting latex. You
could probably also include some latex code to reassign the autoref
command to something else innocuous.
Personally, I recommend the wine...
2) Metadata is simply text at the beginning, you can concatenate
whatever you want to the front of your document before passing it to
MMD. There's tons of info all around the internet for command-line
tricks to help you sort out exactly what you want.

Old thread, but latest versions of the develop branch of MMD include support for the
----unique` command line option, which uses random labels for headers (including LaTeX) so that latex doesn't complain.F-
