LaTeX Table of Contents
A table of contents is produced with the \tableofcontents command. You
put the command right where you want the table of contents to go;
LaTeX does the rest for you. It produces a heading, but it does not
automatically start a new page. If you want a new page after the
table of contents, include a
\newpage command after the
\tableofcontents command.
There are similar commands \listoffigures and \listoftables for
producing a list of figures and a list of tables, respectively.
Everything works exactly the same as for the table of contents.
NOTE: If you want a any of these items to be generated, you can not
have the \nofiles command in your document.
\addcontentsline{file}{sec_unit}{entry}
The \addcontentsline command adds an entry to the specified list or
table where
- file is the extension of the file on which information is to be
written: toc (table of contents), lof (list of figures), or lot
(list of tables).
- sec_unit controls the formatting of the entry. It should be one
of the following, depending upon the value of the file argument:
- toc: the name of the sectional unit, such as part or
subsection.
- lof: figure
- lot: table
- entry is the text of the entry.
\addtocontents{file}{text}
The \addtocontents command adds text (or formatting commands) directly
to the file that generates the table of contents or list of figures or
tables.
- file is the extension of the file on which information is to be
written: toc (table of contents), lof (list of figures), or lot
(list of tables).
- text is the information to be written.
