[R-SIG-Mac] Table of contents for book changed after LaTeX update

[Antony Unwin]

Marc,

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for finding the rmarkdown issue and for your detailed instructions.  It turned out I had three (!) TeXLive versions, the latest being 2015, and I have deleted these and the texmf-local folder.  I also uninstalled TinyTeX, rebooted, and installed TinyTeX again.  This has not solved my problem, but I suspect I have missed deleting something that should be deleted, perhaps /Library/TeX?

> At the weekend I asked about a LaTex problem I had on the Mac and got an immediate solution, great! I have accordingly updated my LaTeX using tinytex and have a new problem. When I built my book with bookdown using the updated LaTeX there were a few small changes that I had to fix, some of which I think may have been due to a bit more space being given around tables, graphics, and lists. There was also a large change, the table of contents has extra spacing everywhere, so that now it needs 7 pages instead of 5. How can I get the old table of contents back?
