I know what I am trying to do could sound contrived. However, I am just writing my thesis. I am the beginning of the work, so I started writing down my table of contents, so as to provide a scaffolding for my work.
Now, while I would like to have my table of contents fully displayed, there are tons of titles and subtitles under it without any content, and that's irritating indeed.
Can I make that huge bunch of titles and subtitles disappear, without deleting those from the table of contents? I tried wrapping them inside an \iffalse
– \fi
couple, but while indeed they were no longer displayed, they also disappeared from my table of contents.
What should I do? I don't care if the trick is dirty, it's just to have everything more tidy while I am still developing my contents.

I propose a
\TODO
prefix to the command for a chapter/section/subsection that has no contents yet:When you start writing contents, just remove the
\TODO
prefix.
