[Tex/LaTex] Document table of contents tree structure on the left

texmaker

Is there a software for Windows that allows you to see the tree structure of your document, like in word (you see the table of contents on the left) ?
I have Texmaker, but you see only a brief tree structure only on the main file, but not on every file and not all the sections and subsections of the file…

Kile has a fairly detailed tree structure per document and an overview of all files per project and all files/projects open.

So one tab gives you files/projects:

and another a detailed structure of the current file:

You can customise this somewhat.

Although code-folding is customisable and you can define custom folds, custom points don't show in the structure. (At least, not for me.)

1 use the bookmark feature (by texenthusiast)

TeXmaker provides the option to add up to three book marks to your code. (TeXstudio which is a more flexile fork, can add up to ten book marks)

2 use the `comment package` (by Torbjørn)

\usepackage{comment}
% ...
\begin{comment}
   \section{I'm not here}
\end{comment}

3 hide it from TeX with booleans

You can use \iffalse which is a boolean operation that is always false and the following code will be ignored. Every \if… must be ended with a \fi.

\iffalse
   \section{I'm not here}
\fi

4 using different files

This is not a real answer to you question but maybe it will help if you separate your code in several files and load them with \input or \include. I guess \input would be better here (see When should I use \input vs. \include?). Again I like the handling of multiple files in TeXstudio better.
