[Tex/LaTex] AMSTeX table of contents

amsarttable of contents

I'm using the docoumentclass amsart. Two things I don't like:

  1. The table of contents (TOC) looks kind of poor, is there an easy way to change it? I like it from article more.

  2. If I use \section*{bla} it still appears but without number in the TOC. How can I make a section that does not appear in the TOC?

Best Answer

  1. You could use a package for customizing the TOC, such as tocloft or titletoc.
