[Tex/LaTex] Higher sections like Part are missing in the table of contents

lyxtable of contents

I am using LyX.

My document uses Part*, Section*, Subsection*, Subsubsection* sections, and babel with \usepackage[english,frenchle]{babel}. With the memoir document template, only Subsection* and Subsubsection* appear in the TOC, not the Section* nor Part*. With the LyXBook template, none at all, just the "Table of Contents" title.
My document was built with a huge use of awks, sed helpers, from a LbreOffice document. Though it compiles to produce a pdf, I may have broken something ?

EDIT : Below my MWE that fails with LyXBook – only parts appear in the TOC (but works with memoir).

What may have I broken ? Or what I could try to add in the preambul to make it work ?

EDIT: I suppressed the stars in the sections. Actually, they appear in the TOC and still I can suppress the numbering. As this MWE is from scratch, I did not break anything except a misuse of the stars in sections declarations (in the new MWE below, I have suppressed the stars).

So the remaining question is: can I have a more complete TOC, including Section and Subsection?

Finally, the solution is, following Torbjørn T & Gonzalo Medina advices:

Sections with a star like Section* permits to not put a section title in the TOC. So, one have to use the unstar section version.
Configure in Document --> Settings --> Numbering & ToC: tocdepth which specifies the lowest section level to put in the TOC, and secnumdepth which specifies the lowest section level to number.

[Tex/LaTex] How to do this amsart Table of Contents excluding dots on bold section rows

The amsart document class has a very strict way in which it sets things up, specifically because it is meant for publication submissions. As such, there's not much in terms of user-interface variation available. This is a good thing. However, it requires a complete revamp of the ToC-generation and interaction in order for it to be flexible.

Here is something that seems to satisfy all your requirements without using any additional packages (except etoolbox):

enter image description here

\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage[showframe,paper=a5paper]{geometry}% Just for this example
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\appendix
\section{An appendix section}
\subsection{First appendix subsection}
\subsection{Second appendix subsection}
\subsubsection{First appendix subsubsection}
\subsubsection{Second appendix subsubsection}
\end{document}

Specific to the requirements:

This is the default setting under amsart, so there's nothing to be done in this regard.
Only the \subsection and \subsubsection ToC entries have been adjusted to include a dotted line. This was taken from latex.ltx's \@dottedtocline that uses leaders.

Adjustments to the spacing between the dots can be achieved using (for example)

    \makeatletter
    \renewcommand{\subsection@dotsep}{5}% Adjust subsection dot gap
    \renewcommand{\subsubsection@dotsep}{5}% Adjust subsubsection dot gap
    \makeatother

The default values for both are 4.5.

The indentation can be set for each of the section levels \section, \subsection and \subsubsection, in addition to the width of the numbers in the ToC. The following self-explanatory macros set the defaults:

 \makeatletter
 \settocsectionnumwidth{2em}
 \settocsubsectionnumwidth{2.5em}
 \settocsubsubsectionnumwidth{3em}
 \settocsectionindent{1pc}%
 \settocsubsectionindent{\dimexpr\@tocsectionindent+\@tocsectionnumwidth}%
 \settocsubsubsectionindent{\dimexpr\@tocsubsectionindent+\@tocsubsectionnumwidth}%
 \makeatother

The subsection and subsubsection indents are set relative to the sections and subsections, making them line up within the ToC as required.

The default \@tocline macro of amsart provides a vertical skip before every sectional unit. This has been customized and can be set with a number of user-interface macros. The defaults are:
```
 \settocsectionvskip{10pt}
 \settocsubsectionvskip{0pt}
 \settocsubsubsectionvskip{0pt}
```

This leaves a gap of at least 10pt above a \section heading, but no gap (0pt) above a subsection or subsubsection.

See (4) above.
This can be adjusted using the number widths as refined in (3) above.
See (6).
\contentsnamefont holds the formatting of the ToC heading. A simple \renewcommand suffices to changes this. For example,
```
 \renewcommand{\contentsnamefont}{\bfseries\Large}
```

Each sectional heading in the ToC can be formatted at the "number+title" and "page number" level via the following self-explanatory macros:

 \settocsectionformat{\bfseries}
 \settocsubsectionformat{\mdseries}
 \settocsubsubsectionformat{\mdseries}
 \setsectionpnumformat{\bfseries}
 \setsubsectionpnumformat{\mdseries}
 \setsubsubsectionpnumformat{\mdseries}

(Optional) Insert \tocpagebreak within your document at the appropriate place between sectional units where you want the equivalent location to be broken in the ToC.
(Optional) \tableofcontents can be adjusted to insert a negative \vspace where appropriate.

This adaptation is not compatible with hyperref, unfortunately. If that is required, one may be better off by recreating the ToC and sectional unit layout using packages that support this in a more consistent/uniform way, and using a different class like article.

[Tex/LaTex] Table of Contents from multiple files

Here's a sample document to get you started. I've used titlesec to format the chapter headings and the appendix package to make use of its {subappendices} environment. The reason your chapters are mislabeled is that the default \appendix command turns \chapter level headings into appendices. Since you want per chapter appendices you need to make appendices as section level elements. So you need to remove the \appendix commands from your included documents and then enclose the appendix sections in the {subappendices} environment.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[block]
  {\filcenter\Large\bfseries}%
  {}{1em}{}
\usepackage{appendix}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{}
\renewcommand{\setthesection}{\Alph{section}}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Paper title one}
\section{A section}
\subsection{A subsection}
\begin{subappendices}
\section{A chapter appendix}
\section{Another chapter appendix}
\end{subappendices}
\chapter{Paper title two}
\section{A section}
\begin{subappendices}
\section{An appendix}
\end{subappendices}
\end{document}
