Put `etoc.sty' in a suitable location within the TeX installation: etoc.sty -> ..suitable..path..to../tex/latex/etoc/ The other generated files may be discarded. Abstract The etoc package gives to the user complete control on how the entries of the table of contents should be constituted from the name, number, and page number of each sectioning unit. This goes via the definition of line styles for each sectioning level used in the document. The package provides its own custom line styles as an example. The simplest usage though will be to delegate the details of the layout to packages dealing with list environments. The \tableofcontents command can be used arbitrarily many times and has a variant \localtableofcontents which prints tables of contents `local' to the current surrounding document unit. An extension of the label/ref syntax allows to reproduce at another location (and with another layout) a TOC defined somewhere else in the document. The formatting inherited (possibly customized by other packages) from the document class can also be used. Regarding the global toc display, etoc provides styles based on a multi-column format, optionally with a frame or a ruled title. As the assignment of levels to the sectioning units can be changed at any time, etoc can be used to create custom 'lists of' in a very general manner. It does not create auxiliary files other than the usual .toc file.
