This normally has +to be set in the preamble and is a constant for the document. The +package <i>tocvsec2</i> package provides a convenient interface to +allow you to change the <code>secnumdepth</code> and/or the +<code>tocdepth</code> counter values at any point in the body of the +document; this provides convenient independent controls over the +sectional numbering and the table of contents. +<p/>The package <i>abstract</i> (see +<a href="FAQ-onecolabs.html">one-column abstracts</a>) includes an option +to add the <code>abstract</code> to the table of contents, while the +package <i>tocbibind</i> has options to include the table of +contents itself, the <code>bibliography</code>, <code>index</code>, etc., to +the table of contents. +<p/>The <i>KOMA-Script</i> classes have commands <code>\</code><code>addchap</code> and +<code>\</code><code>addled</code>, which work like <code>\</code><code>chapter</code> and <code>\</code><code>section</code> but +aren’t numbered. The <i>memoir</i> class incorporates the facilities +of all three of the <i>abstract</i>, <i>tocbibind</i> and +<i>tocvsec2</i> packages. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>abstract.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/abstract.zip">macros/latex/contrib/abstract</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/abstract.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/abstract/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>KOMA script bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.zip">macros/latex/contrib/koma-script</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>memoir.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.zip">macros/latex/contrib/memoir</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>tocbibind.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocbibind.zip">macros/latex/contrib/tocbibind</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocbibind.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocbibind/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>tocvsec2.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocvsec2.zip">macros/latex/contrib/tocvsec2</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocvsec2.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tocvsec2/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=secnumdep">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=secnumdep</a> +</body> |
