+The tocdata package.
+Adds names to table of contents / list of figures entries.
+
+v1.00 — 2019/01/12

+
+
+Summary:
+
+The tocdata package may be used to add a small amount of data to an
+entry in the table of contents or list of figures, between the
+section name and the page number. The typical use would be to add
+the name of an author or artist of a chapter or section, such as in
+an anthology or a collection of papers.
+
+Additionally, user-level macros are provided which add the author's
+name to a chapter or section, along with an optional prefix and/or
+suffix, and add to a figure the artist's name, prefix, and suffix,
+plus optional additional text. Author and artist names are also
+added to the index. Additional user-level macros control formatting.
+
+
+Requirements:
+
+Tocdata requires the use of either the titletoc package or
+the tocloft package.
+
+
+Alternatives:
+
+Tocdata places onto a single line the chapter/section name, author/artist
+name, and page number. Numerous other methods are available for adding
+names to the TOC, but these usually place the chapter/section name and
+page number onto one line, with the additional information on another line.
+These methods would be preferable, and often required, if you wish
+to place a lot of information in the TOC, or have long chapter or
+section names.
