[Tex/LaTex] Index is incorrectly listed in the table of contents

indexingpage-numberingtable of contents

I have a large document with an index compiled through makeindex, and is included in my source .tex as follows:

\cleardoublepage
\phantomsection 
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index}
\printindex

However, the \addcontentsline does not correctly add the Index to either the Table of Contents, or the list of bookmarks in the resulting PDF.

Bibliography . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 330

One solution is to write a new command, \immediateaddcontentsline, and this adds the Index to both the TOC and the list of Bookmarks. The Bookmark link works correctly. But in the TOC, the page number is now listed with roman numerals as "xvi" rather than "349".

Bibliography . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 330

Index . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . xvi

"xvi" is the current page, so it looks like something is mighty confused. It is probably related to the immediate-ness of the new TOC command.

Is it even possible to have an Index listed the Table of Contents? Or must I use a different index maker?

Instead of tinkering with \addcontentsline, simply load my idxlayout package with the totoc option. (idxlayout is compatible with the standard classes, the KOMA-Script classes, and memoir.)

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex

\usepackage[totoc]{idxlayout}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{foo}

Some text.\index{Text}

\printindex

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Contents in PDF bookmarks

The following code should create a correct ToC bookmark for both scrreprt and scrbook:

\makeatletter
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\pretocmd{\tableofcontents}{%
  \if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi
  \pdfbookmark[0]{\contentsname}{toc}%
}{}{}%
\makeatother

[Tex/LaTex] Resets page numbering after table of contents

First of all, \pagenumbering resets the page counter to 1, so don't use it if you don't want it reset. Instead just change the numbering representation using something like

\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}

Now, I notice you're using the sphinxmanual document class. Looking at the code, we see a redefinition of \tableofcontents that includes a \pagenumbering:

% This wraps the \tableofcontents macro with all the magic to get the spacing
% right and have the right number of pages if the 'openright' option has been
% used.  This eliminates a fair amount of crud in the individual document files.
%
\let\py@OldTableofcontents=\tableofcontents
\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{%
  \setcounter{page}{1}%
  \pagebreak%
  \pagestyle{plain}%
  {%
    \parskip = 0mm%
    \py@OldTableofcontents%
    \if@openright%
      \ifodd\value{page}%
        \typeout{Adding blank page after the table of contents.}%
        \pagebreak\hspace{0pt}%
      \fi%
    \fi%
    \cleardoublepage%
  }%
  \pagenumbering{arabic}% <--------------- This resets the page to 1
  \@ifundefined{fancyhf}{}{\pagestyle{normal}}%
}

You can remove this reset of the page number by adding the following to your preamble before you redefine \tableofcontents:

\usepackage{etoolbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox
% \patchcmd{<cmd>}{<search>}{<replace>}{<success>}{<failure>}
\patchcmd{\tableofcontents}{\pagenumbering{arabic}}{}{}{}

Note that the page style may also be adjusted by sphinxmanual's definition of \tableofcontents. But for now this should get where you want.
