table of contents
How could I produce an extra table of content ?
I want to add a TOC describing the content of another document, is that possible in a simple way ? I know I could write the style and everything but I'd like something à la minipage with new sections in it.
(edit: I use LaTeX)
Finally, the solution is, following Torbjørn T & Gonzalo Medina advices:
Section* permits to not put a section title in the TOC. So, one have to use the unstar section version.tocdepth which specifies the lowest section level to put in the TOC, and secnumdepth which specifies the lowest section level to number.In this case, I used the optional argument of \section, to make the toc entry have a blank line stacked under it. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that if the entry is long enough to wrap in the toc, just stack under the last word of the entry, rather than under the whole entry.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\begin{document}
\def\stacktype{L}
\tableofcontents
\section{Sec 1}
\section[\stackunder{Sec 2}{}]{Sec 2} % I want space between section 2 and 3 in the table of contents
\section{Sec 3}
\section{Sec 4}
\section{Sec 5}
\end{document}

The ToC is generated by a set of
\contentslinemacros which are written into a.tocfile by the sectioning macros. You can use that macro to produce your own ToC. If your other document is also a LaTeX document than you could use its.tocfile as a base.The format of
\contentsline(withhyperrefloaded) is:Example:
You might not need to provide anything for the labels because that ToC will most likely not be hyperlinked.
If you want that ToC to be smaller than normal put it into a
\scalebox{<factor>}{<content>}and scale it down. If you place it inside a{minipage}{<width>}environment it will be drawn with this given width. You need to add the ToC heading by yourself using\chapter*or better\section*:
